Every half an hour my computer downloads an unwanted site
from the internet without any action by myself. There must
be an execution file lodged on my hard drive that executes
every half an hour to download this site. It is an
explicit site that I dio not want my kids to see. Where
can I find this file?

First eliminate any scumware.

Note that AdAware and SpyBot S & D will each catch some things the other
won't. Also, each need to be updated before every use, even when just
downloaded.

If trying everything at that site does not fix the problem please post back
in the same thread.
