    Sorry Shiney,I have just been upstairs before I had seen what you had written and asked Mr Kandy and he said that Zone Alarm is good but that Defender was the rubbish one.:D I really ought to clean my ears out and wake up properly:rolleyes::D

    Marely I forgot to ask you in the other post what Maleware is.Sorry for seeming thick but I am not into all this computer talk.I leave that to the experts

    The only way I know to get rid of it is to download Smitfraudfix from http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/resources/link243.html and unpack it to your desktop. Then run the program from "smitfraudfix.bat" and choose "Item 4, Update" from the menu. Then close Smitfraudfix.
    Reboot the PC into safe mode, and run smitfraudfix again, this time choosing Item "2, Fix"
    When It's completed reboot and install Superantispyware,from http://downloads2.superantispyware.com/downloads/SUPERAntiSpyware.exe update it and run a FULL scan.
    Hopefully this will sort it for you, if not you may need to repeat a couple of times.

    *edit* Combofix also gets rid of it and all it's varients

    I believe that the BT browser is based on internet explorer so technically it's just as insecure...:thumb:

    Did a reload myself a couple of weeks ago WOO.
    Takes about 25 mins to delete everything and get back on
    line/Broadband but I find the thing that takes most time is
    re-installing all the programmes I use.

    Very satisfying when everything is at last up and running again
    isn't it!
