For all the people who have AOL'ed this thread:
What does a scan with a current antivirus program (meaning a version not
earlier than 2002 and using updated virus definitions) show? Also,
remove spyware with Spybot Search & Destroy from www.security.kolla.de
and Ad-aware from www.lavasoftusa.com. Be sure to update these programs
before running them. These programs are free, so run them both since
they complement each other. It is best to run antivirus and spyware
removal tools in Safe Mode.
Once you know your computer is virus and spyware-free, if you are still
experiencing the problem, repost. Give a full description of your
computer specs (processor speed, RAM), your Internet connection
(method, ISP name), and what you've already done to troubleshoot.
