Hi

I seem to be having an issue on my Windows XP Pro system (I know its a 2000 list but the resolution will be the same Im sure)where Im getting tasks open automatically in the background. I have a few programs installed that stop popups and these seem to work. I don?t get popups but if I open Task Manager I see the following Applications running in the background. I only usually get 1 task at a time. If I close the app, its replaced with something different. These IE processes cannot be seen ? they run in the background only

- Online Dialer ? Microsoft Internet Explorer
- Absolut Teen ? Microsoft Internet Explorer
- http://sexzones.net
etc

I have installed the following applications

- McAfees virus with latest defs

- Ad-Aware (with Adwatch monitoring)

- HiJackThis

- Popupstopper

- XP Firewall enabled

AdAware picks up the std bug (Webdialer) and removes it but it constantly reappears (even with Adwatch enabled). The other piece of software installed which may be causing the issue in the first place in Kazaa Lite K++ (which is supposedly Ad free)

Does anyone have any suggestions as to what I can do to remove these pests that run in the background?

Thanks
Rose
