What is the problem?

Have you used the Immunize feature on Spybot?

Yes, I have tried this.

It doesn't solve the problem unfortunately.

Thanks for your reply! It seems that a few people are having this problem - perhaps it is a recent piece of spyware? I am not brilliant with computers unfortunately so am quite stuck.

Thanks wombat, that is the problem sorted after getting rid of the ones you suggested.


I owe you one!!

Hellow Trow, Sorry I got it wrong. I am not really very "techie" but, this last week my computer has been going very slow and I just downloaded the free edition of Reg Cure and it seems to have worked. It was the first listed on Google when I did my search and had a testimonial from one of our broadsheets. It did a scan and said it had found over 1200 problems but to fix them all I have to buy the full version (naturally). Whateve they did fix has done the trick.

I had a virus/spyware problem recently. Spybot would pick up the problem and delete it but the sneaky virus replicated itself each time after deletion. The only program that could eliminate it was trojanhunter.
