Hi Gavin, I installed NOD32 after the problem started, in an attempt to catch whatever malware might be causing it. It's interesting to learn about other's experiences with this software though, I hadn't heard a lot about it before this past month. It did catch a few things that Norton Antivirus had missed, but the problem continued.
