Ah, ok, politics, thanks again BC

What causes this 'flashing', i've attempted to research it, but found no answer.



@ SuperDave, thanks for everything. Having trouble uninstalling combofix though, i've typed it in correctly. Even a search does not bring it up. Even though i can find it manually.

It's probably some AJAX/Jquery running in the background to keep all the crazy new hotmail/live stuff properly refreshed. Or, (if it's only during page load) could be a all the various iframes loading sequentially (the stop button is only enabled in FF while a transfer is in progress... if a page finishes loading at then at some point later starts loading more data, the stop button will become enabled again. Not all Browser Stop Button's are created equal, it would seem.

That's probably because it is running from c:\users\Steve\Desktop\Mini Desktop\ComboFix.exe
We'll have to do it this way.

Delete the Combo-Fix.exe file, C:\Combo-Fix folder, C:\QooBox folder, C:\WINDOWS\nircmd.exe, C:\combo-fix.txt and C:\Combo-Fix-quarantined-files.txt
You may have a problem deleting one of the folders. In that case, just empty the folder of whatever files you can and leave it.
