First I'd say check into the malware forum here at CH for a virus cleansing here. (http://www.computerhope.com/forum/index.php/board,7.0.html)  ... Read the pre posting instructions

If malware doesn't seem to be the case here, there's a few other things we can try...  But first things first, we need to address the possibility of malware in the system otherwise we might be chasing our tales
