I have run Spybot and have AVG Anti Virus both of which are up to date. I have run Spybot and done a full virus scan with no results. Is someone milking me???!!! :annoyed:	muzza (7316)

Also it pays to run more than one anti-spyware product. Try Ad-Aware as well, alos the MS Spyware checker. And yes, run Hijackthis to see whats lurking.	pctek (84)

Post a few local ports and remote addresses here and we'll tell you what trouble you are in.	vinref (6194)

Without asking anyone's permission it would do an ET and call home. Frequently. To the extent of gigabytes per day. :badpc: There is a replacement driver obtainable for it. :thumbs:	Graham L (2)
