are you using ntfs?
also give us a list of whats running in your processes would like to see what you have running in the background. I wanted you to run cwshredder to see if it was a hijacker you can also get a different adware remover and see if this works.
if its not a hijacker issue if the file was corrupt then you would need to manually remove the file and the registry entries.
The shredder is an awesome tool, granted, but it only fixes CWS hijackings....They are not that common, maybe 25-35% of the logs I examine. And the newer strains of CWS don't care if you run the shredder or not..they will still come back, and often times running it in the wrong instance masks the problem, and it will just re-occur again. I've just had a few particularly tough lessons on that. Thankfully some people that knew more than I were able to bail my happy a** out.Quote:

With all due respect, you're playing horseshoes with hand-grenades. :p
EDIT: And back to the original topic, IE used to do that to me a long time ago...I never did figure out why. I think I ended up switching to a different browser...so I'm not much help there, am I :D
Hi,
A while ago, thanks to my wife surfing, I had some trouble with IE and it opening other windows going to crap sites. I fixed it by downloading Spybot. It's pretty good at detecting all kinds of spyware and also provides for blocking of new tracking and spyware stuff, either automatically, or by asking you what to do.
Take a look at it if you're interested. I think you can get it from download.com
Cheers,

hi
Yes it would be interestion to see a HijackThis log here.............Can you post your HijackThis this log .........
Try Running a Online Scan From PestPatrol and Housecall See if they find something Suspesious.....
--Good Luck---
[Edit]
Just checked True AD-Aware Setup file is named aaw6181 ...But your Error message says Dopo596c.exe Strange....where are you downloading it from ..........AD-AwareQuote:
I believe that the ad-aware file is aaw6181.exe (or something like that).
just to follow up on my previous post here, i was experimenting with internet explorer last night and alternate download names, and every time something got done that was large enough to require the moving screen, it always had a temporary name of something over 8 characters...
furthermore, i looked at the error again and that is where windows moves the files to AFTER the temporary name is changed to the real one and the user has selected "open" rather than "save"
I believe that the ad-aware file is aaw6181.exe (or something like that).
Swat it for all those hard to reach Places.
