Oh, I see. That makes sense then as I never download/install those and I never install anything that isn't from a respected source - and even then I pay attention to the EULA.

Thanks!

They do live on your drive under different names on your disk than they instantiate themselves in memory. Sneaky

It was driving me NUTS .. I spent all day looking for these stupid thing

1.Reformat hard drive 2. Reinstall Windows For a permanent solution 1. Reformat hard drive 2. Install Linux

Geez. Pretty drastic. Do you shoot your dog when it gets fleas? Can't be too sure now can we?

Have you ever used "msconfig"? Shows what is running as a background task in memory. You can google anything you see in memory and see what it is. You can then stop the startup of anything not absolutely required. Windows only requires 2-3 tasks to run. My Toshiba laptop had over 60 processes running when I first bought it.

I don't know .. I'll have to ask my hubby .. I know squat of what things are on this computer

I take care of the kids, the house, take out the trash, pay the bills

All the hubby has to do is make sure my computer is working ..

It's a win win for me .. *L*

My Daughter SOME HOW downloaded something called CleverIEhooker .. though she swears she didn't do anything

I have yelled at my kids too many times over the past few weeks over this. They SWEAR that they are not loading things...just surfng the net. I believe them...now. Sorry kids!

My daughter was surfing and playing games through Neopet.com

Somehow during that is when it high jacked my computer

I know she didn't mean for it to happen .. which is the only reason I haven't written her out of my Will *L*
