265770	2004-08-26 11:32:00	XP Home P4 2.4 Processor 120Gig HD 512 MB Ram From a stable system to a slightly shaky one..help ! Recently I've experienced unusual behaviour on my pc: 1ut of nowhere dial-up window appears 2:Internet Explorer pops up out of the blue 3:Programs wont open on first click 4:Fatal Error messages, program has to close 5:Cubase SX wont always open properly I have up to date anti virus etc, defragged, trojan scanned etc. Perhaps I have got carried away with my registry checker and given it permission to delete something I shouldnt have ? Considered system restore, but it appears restore points are only available for a month and this problem is a little older than that ! I do have a lot of software installed, but plenty of available on my partitioned drive. Whats next ?	Linz53 (3302)

265772	2004-08-26 12:34:00	Yes, agree with Rob.... 1. Update then run Spybot 2. Update then run Adaware 3. Update your Virus definitions - run an Antivirus Scan 4. Visit Windows Update website and see how up to date you machine is?	Darcy (1040)

265774	2004-08-26 21:14:00	Thanks for your replies everyone... I have done all of the above, Spybot says I'm clean, Ad-aware gave a list of 10 items (I quarantined them all) and Nod32 is updated every day.. I have run an up to date trojan remover, but not a dial-up remover... Will do that tonight, as I have to go to work right now ! Cheers.	Linz53 (3302)
