215425 2004-02-14 03:42:00 Hi there, Im running Win ME IE6. My problem has been happening for the last two days.When i go to certain web sites "NOT ALL" when i enter search words in a search engine and click search, and if i click on certain results, or even click the links on some web pages, i get a box pop up. the box is white it has no text just a question mark and a cross at the top, the question mark does nothing. The problem is that no web page will load until i close this box that appears, The progress bar starts to go up then it stops, as soon as i close the pop up the web page is there, Once again it doesn't happen on all pages,I've virus scanned Trojan scanned and system restored my computer but to no avail. any help would be great.
Many thanks

215427 2004-02-14 04:10:00 I've scanned with ad-aware Does that do the same thing?? iron-zeus (3479)
215428 2004-02-14 09:13:00 i have ad-aware and i downloaded spybot installed and up dated it, then i up dated ad-aware and ran both programs but still no joy.But i did notice that if i open spybot, even if im not connected to the net, then highlight the help tab and click help, this damn box appears, if i click tutorial it doesn't appear, but if i click index it does, what do you make of that??? Thanks iron-zeus (3479)

Let's try this
Go here www.net-integration.net
Read about and get "hijack this". Unzip it to it's own folder then run it. Scan and save a log for posting here. The log can be opened with notepad and the content's posted (copy and paste please) in your new reply.

******Do not fix anything******

This will show what's running on your comp.
