I just came home and saw all the messages. Thanks for thinking with me = on this. I sure want to get rid of it, never had a thing like that on my = computer. When the NET 3 thing comes up again I will look if it gives = more information. The other strange thing that happens, I mentioned this a few mails ago, = is that my icons all change in the most strange different icons. When I = open that file with the different icon it still brings me to the right = file, the only difference is that the icon has changed. Also I can't = open my favourites again. That also happened after I got all the pop = ups. Now when I re-start my computer the icons are back to normal again = and also I can open my favourites again. Strange things are happening, it looks likes there is a ghost on my = machine. It does not do any real harm but I don't think it belongs on my = computer. Sylvia.=20 I wish I knew... but that's why I mentioned it looks like adware. Maybe = something was installed that does similar to the XP counterpart. Only = thing I can point to is something that's installed running in the = background. And, adware is the only thing coming to mind. 3 Net was mentioned by Sylvia, but did a search and can't find anything = relating. Still looking, but so far unsuccessful. .::] Sir Troth [::.. _________________________________ AOL: SirTrothX Please, no email at this address! _________________________________ To unsub or change your email settings: //www.freelists.org/webpage/pctechtalk To access our Archives: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/PCTechTalk/messages/ //www.freelists.org/archives/pctechtalk/ For more info: //www.freelists.org/cgi-bin/list?list_id=pctechtalk
