Thanks for the reply's, I have adaware/spybot and norton all up to date and used
often. I scanned with house call an all was good on this end. I also tried remote assist
and tried to google for CWShredder/Hijackthis, but was unable to load the page remotely and kept getting an error message that IE has encountered a problem and needs to close.
Very frustrating indeed. Any ideas why this is so? my brother is using xp home/sygate/ norton,and spybot. I looked at his task manager and nothing seemed out of place(for an illiterate like me that is) So i am out of ideas as to help him out, any advice would be greatly appreciated.cheers TidaL.....
