Here is what is happening.When openeng IE 6 my home page
comes up but I also get a pop up to the
website "casinopalozzo" This only seems to happen twice a
day,I haven't seen a pattern so it's not occuring each
time I open my browser.When this happens I also get these
internet shortcuts automatically added to my favorites
menu (Best Search,Casino,Easy Search,Gift Certificate,Pop
Up Blocker,Spyware Removal,Viagra & Web Hosting).Also when
I look in Task Manager after this happens there is
something called "taskmgn.exe" running,and this is the
only time it runs.All critical updates have been
applied,Lavasoft Adaware and Spybot S&D find nothing.I'm
using Trend Micro AV and it finds no viruses.I'm
firewalled and it scores great on tests I've ran from some
of the best security sites.Also when I do a Serch to find
the file "taskmgn.exe" nothing is found.
Any suggestions on what to try next ?
