We will need more information to help you with this. What did you use to scan for viruses and spyware? What kind of network equipment are you using?

[lem02]

i used Norton anti-virus 2005 and ad-aware.
in device manager it say i have a Netgear WG121 802.11g Wireless USB2.0 Adapter under 'Network Adapters'. But under modems it says PCI SoftV92 Modem.

Does this help???
thanx,

See if you can run the online scan in my sig. Norton misses some viruses and this sounds like malware of some sort.

i ran the whole thing (took a while) and at the end this is what it came up said under the "Recover" section of the scan. (everything in bold)

Risk Level Issue How to Fix
Important A vulnerability in ASP.NET allows an attacker to bypass the security of an ASP.NET Web site, and access a machine. The attacker gains unauthorized access to some areas of the said Web site, and is able to control it accordingly. The actions that the attacker could take would depend on the specific content being protected. MS05-004
Critical This update resolves two newly-discovered vulnerabilities in Microsoft Word that could allow an attacker to run arbitrary code on a users system. If a user is logged on with administrative privileges, an attacker who successfully exploited this vulnerability could take complete control of an affected system, including installing programs; viewing, changing, or deleting data; or creating new accounts with full privileges. MS05-023

Well, if it works in IE, you're all set. Since we don't support P2P applications, we can't help you with Limewire issues.
