Hi,
This is not a MS file so I would suggest you start by doing a virus scan with up to date virus software, then scan for and removing any installed spyware. If you are in need of virus software, here are a couple to choose from, for free. Download the software, and in Update Manager run Update then do a complete virus scan. Free Offer: eTrust EZ Armor Security Suite from Computer Associates http://www.my-etrust.com/microsoft/index.cfm Search and destroy any installed SpyWa Ad-aware is a free multi spyware removal utility that scans your memory, registry and hard drives for known spyware components and lets you remove them safely. After installing Ad-Aware make sure to run the update feature before scanning. http://www.lavasoftusa.com/ For large amounts of installed spyware and such, it may be necessary to run Ad-Aware several times to clear them all. SpywareBlaster: http://www.wilderssecurity.net/spywareblaster.html SpywareBlaster doesn't scan and clean for spyware - it prevents it from ever being installed. SpywareBlaster is a non memory resident utility. It works by setting a "kill bit" for the CLSIDs of spyware ActiveX controls, it prevents the installation of any of them from a webpage.
