See previous thread 2710.07. My thanks to those who showed interest. Now
back from a pleasant break and, as a poor old codger of 85 with minimal self
taught 'puter knowledge, have spent two days trying to get rid of this
apparently low risk problem. Thanks to many spyware scans by
http://ca.com/gb/ ( and Ad-Adware and Advanced Windows Care Personal) I
seem to have narrowed the problem down to the following plus three cookies
Adware "AdRotator F" found in:
a.. key "hkey_current_user \software\microsoft\adssite

Going to Edit the Registry I could not Find AdRotator under the many entries
in Adssite so, so with many qualms,after first deleting the cookies,
deleted Adssite but upon rebooting (trying twice) back to square one.
Any suggestions please.

Hi to "nass" in particular. Have gone through the suggestions up to
HiJackThis where I came to the conclusion I was not in the mood to go any
further, even if capable! . http://ca.com/gb/securityadvisor/pestscan/
still shows AdRotator F on reboot , with three cookies, although clear
before but I guess this is a comparatively minor irritation. Perhaps will
look at HiJackThis and pursue later. My thanks for your interest,
