Re: Error Alert?
Okay, sorry for the top post but this is important enough ...
It appears you are infected/have some changes within your system.
Please understand, though your previous anti-spyware and AV scans found
nothing, you may still have browser hijacks and other to be concerned about
[running processes or other].
The Hijack This log would likely provide some answers, it lay for you to
run the test and post the log SOMEWHERE for review.
Likely it will also be relevant to post *Startup* and *run services*
entries SOMEWHERE, so they can also be reviewed.
Here or elsewhere, please provide these so SOMEONE can look through them.
If you have contact via email with Gary, then post to him,, he will
determine whether it needs posted here or elsewhere. BUT please do something
shortly.. again some of your settings are allowing too much through to your
system, something needs changed, you need more protection.

| Hi MEB,
| I am going to try this again I hope it goes through. I have tried
about
| 5 times today to send this but it never showed up. The one that did, was
the
| one I sent to ask why I was having trouble. I sent a couple after that.
| No, I am not using firefox. I am using Internet explorer. Last night I
| was still receiving pop ups. I even had one when I was trying to use the
| site for the*fix* that PABear and Gary mentioned in their posts. I KNOW
that
| the pop up was not from that click on site. It was a Sexy Girl pop up. Of
| course I used the close button. Then I got the grey box titled Microsoft
| something. Whoever is doing it they are trying to mimic the Windows boxes.
| In the box it said that I have been visiting Adult Sites. Not true. They
| wanted me to download Drive Cleaner. I then did my routine even though it
| was 1:30AM I was tired. Nothing showed up on neither except except the
usual
| cookie that I did the *fix* on. I think that it was adrevolver. That was
| Spybot. AdAware had the usual cookies. Avast! showed nothing.
| You asked if when I used the 3 finger salute caused any problems. The
| thing that happened was one of my icons disappeared, the hotkey one.
| I tried to save the instructions to my desktop. All I got was the
| borders of it. I tried to do the print the only thing that came up was
page
| 1 with a side bar. That did not do me any good.
| I only have I computer, so I cannot type it out. My
| handwriting/printing I cannot sometimes read when it gets cold.
| I have another problem. I used to have my explorer buttons across
the
| top, now they are at the bottom when I open Outlook Express. When I type a
| post they are across the top. When I read the posts they are on the side
you
| have to click on a button at the top and the button is not marked in any
| way.
