Thanx for all the help

I have executed all the steps in your last post, i.e.

- Emptied the norton quarantine - by deleting the items in *safe mode*

(did not work by using the program itself, probably because some items were put there by an older version of Norton Antivirus)

- Cleared the system restore cash

- Installed SpywareBlaster, IE-SpyAd and MVPS HOST FILE

Please Note: the original IE-SPYAD format that used .REG files to load and unload the Restricted Sites list is no longer available and will not be maintained. The same holds true for IE-SPYAD2. Both are replaced by what used to be called IE-SPYAD for ZonedOut. ZonedOut is a free utility that loads and unloads a plain text list of domains into the Restricted sites zone. You can think of ZonedOut as an improved replacement for the .BAT file utility used in the "original" IE-SPYAD. This new version of IE-SPYAD provides the same protection as the old version, but is easier to use and maintain.

ANTIVIRUS SOFTWARE: Norton Antivirus 15.0.0.58

FIREWALL PROTECTION: D-Link DI-604 Router & Hardware Firewall

------------------------------------------------------------------------
I've downloaded ERUNT & NTREGOPT, but not installed yet - want to give it a thought first

same goes for Trillian and Miranda-IM
------------------------------------------------------------------------

All in all, my computer seems to be running OK

Thanks to Your Eminent Expertise

This site will be recommended by me to anyone who has a problem
