expertec Posted December 20, 2004 Report Share Posted December 20, 2004 It does sound like you have a virus... read the pinned topics at http://www.windowsforum.org/forum/index.php?showforum=53 and post a Hijackthis log. Then we'll be able to see what's going on. :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scuzzman Posted December 20, 2004 Report Share Posted December 20, 2004 This is kind of a wierd problem. You could try one or all of the following:Switch to Mozilla firefox and run an online virus scan (this is an attempt to get around spyware)run Ad-AWare/spybot in safe modedownload and install AVG antivirus - it's free, update it, and scan with that Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sskagent Posted December 22, 2004 Report Share Posted December 22, 2004 Is it connected directly to an outlet or does it go through a UPS? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
