okay what scans - let's see Norton on my machine and on the internet, AVG on
my machine and on the internet, Adaware, Spybot Search & Destroy, A
(squared - don't know how to make that symbol), Trojan Scan, Trend Micro and
Panda (I think that is all I found <gr> to try).  What I have figured out is
I definitely have a trojan and found that out by accident - went to symantic
page and it gave the sumptoms of (drat I keep forgetting the name -
something like f-tran) and sure enough I had the url added to my favorites.
Then I accidentally was also made an association to the wierd (I thought)
messages that I was getting that looked like they came from roadrunner,
telling me I was over quota and need to check not only my inbox but all my
boxes - I had deleted that url before I opened the latest of these e-mails
and sure enough that url was back in my favorites.  What I finally did as a
temporary measure (until I get back from vacation on Sunday and can swim or
drown in a reformat, was to reinsall both IE and OE and that at least gave
me back the ability to click on urls in e-mails - thanks for responding -

what are 'all scans' ?
did you scan with panda online for viruses? and spybot and ad-aware? or a2?
if something is on your computer, it should show up somewhere!!!
I'm not good at this stuff if it doesn't show up on scans -
but I try a bunch of different ones, because they all seem to look for
different
things.

I'm holding off taking the big step of reformatting until I get back from
vacation - in the meantime was there an answer to this that I missed?  It is
SO annoying :-)  Dolores

I am running 98SE (along with a demon who has taken control!)  Something is
obviously on this computer but all my scans show nothing.  Anyhow I had
problems with outlook express emptying folders at random and a bunch of
quirky things.  I had to uninstall (for some reason when I took OE 6 off I
still have OE5 but it's not listed in the add-remove list) and reinstal four
times and now it seems to be okay (fingers crossed!).  Today I discovered
this newest problem - someone will put a link in an e-mail, I will click on
it, OE will open but the address doesn't carry over so I have to manually
type the address in.  I have looked through all the settings I can think of
but maybe have missed one and would appreciate any suggestions.  Thanks.
Dolores
