Dormouse

I have several identities on my PC (Windows 2K) and recently when I have
visited some websites under my main identity the pages do not display
properly (this affects Internet Explorer, Netscape, Opera etc). Symptoms
are:

a.. You can see some of the HTML code at the top of the page
b.. Links/pop up windows don't work/open
This only happens at certain sites AND when I change my logon to a different
user ID on the same computer there are no problems with these sites.
Has some spyware changed a setting for my main identity. If so, how do I
change it back? I sweep my PC regularly for spyware. Help with this
problem much appreciated.

Thanks

This continues to be a somewhat strange problem as it subsequently cleared
itself for several days and then came back again. I found some further spy
parasites but their removal did not seem to coincide with the temporary
righting of the fault. If there are any further developments/solutions, I
will report back to the group.

I have finally hit this one on the head! The problem is caused by the
protection software Webwasher. Temporarily switch the program off and the
problem goes away.

Thanks for sharing the solution!
