Hey,
Thanks for the reply, I regularly do scans for adware and such malware and
take very good care towards organization of my computer so that I can always
pin point a problem should one arise. To be honest I work in repairing
computers and restoring them, but this really has me in a bind. The scan I
did with ad-aware before hand only revealed some temporary files in my
broswer cache which didn't affect performance by any means. I've been getting
good runs more often now but it's still fighting me a bit. I have a general
idea that it could possibly be my ISP if I rule out the other Internet
Accessing programs. Most likely it's right in front of me so I'll continue
playing trial and error.
Thanks much
