Hi from Poland (a little bit to the south of you ;-))

Start the system in the Safe mode (F8 during boot-up), run Windows Explorer,
go to your profile temporary folders (usually C:\Documents and
settings\username\local settings\temp and c:\....\local settings\Temporary
Internet Files\Content.IE5) and delete all the files in those directories
and subdirectories.

Then do a full system scan with MS AntiSpyware (check the proper option
under Scan settings). Also with your antivirus.

Keep this two applications up to date.
If you don't use any firewall - then start using one (Zone Alarm, Kerio,
Agnitum Otpost or other).

Also you can try other "cleaning" software:

Hi There Jimmy

If you think you have a virus you should run a online
virus scan ,You may need to turn off system restore to
delete the virus

You can run a virus scan at any of these sites:

Trend Micro http://housecall.antivirus.com/

Panda

tm

Symantecs Security Check & Virus scanner

http://security.symantec.com/default.asp?
productid=symhome&langid=ie&venid=sym

E Trust http://www3.ca.com/virusinfo/virusscan.aspx


If viruses are found that cannot be removed turn off
system restore and retry the scanners

To turn off system restore goto start> right click my
computer and choose properties then goto system
restore,check the box 'turn off system restore' press
apply then exit.


If you can find out what the virus is then it will be
easier to clean up and reset anything that has been
changed

If the virus scanners all show that your system is clean
then you should download Spybot Search & Destroy & Ad-
aware SE and run a scan with both of them.Then if the
problems are still there download Hijack This and post
the log but try the virus and adware scanners first
