And your Windows version is...? We'll assume its WinXP, considering the
patches which were installed.

A/V = anti-virus application

To assure a clean install, your anti-virus application should be disabled
and all other running processes (e.g. OE) closed before installing from
anything, including Windows Update.

Q837009 will be found in Add/Remove Programs as "Outlook Express Q837009";
the others as "Windows XP Hotfix - KB123456".

Uninstall one-at-a-time, rebooting after each uninstall. If an uninstall
solves your problem, return to Windows Update with your AV disabled and all
other processes closed to reinstall the(se) important patch(es).

If uninstalling any/all of the patches doesn't solve your problem, Check
your system for "hijackware":

Run these tools in the following order with nothing else running in
background:

1. CWShredder (fix all found)

2. Ad-Aware (fix all found)

3. Spybot (RTFM but generally fix everything in red)

Important: You *must* seek updates for Ad-Aware, Spybot, etc., before each
and every use, even "right out of the box". But even they can't catch
everything, 24/7. When all else fails, HijackThis
(http://www.spywareinfo.com/~merijn/files/HijackThis.exe) is the preferred
tool to use. It will help you to both identify and remove any
hijackware/spyware. **Post your files to http://forums.spywareinfo.com/ or
http://forum.aumha.org/viewforum.php?f=30 for expert analysis, not here.**

[Alternate download pages for many of the above tools may be found at
http://aumha.org/a/parasite.htm.]

Also update your virus definitions and then run a full system scan. From
now on, do both daily.

So How Did I Get Infected Anyway?

When all is well, reinstall the patches per the above.
