    How the fuck do i get rid of this little box opening everytime i start the PC up?

    Ave ran Spybot / AVG etc but nothing?

    Is it bad or just not worth going grey over ?

    Cheers

    I had it a while back. I ran cleanmgr then did my spyware scans and they got rid of it. My spyware scans didn't sort it before that :D

    It's still there this cretin.

    It starts off a little "About:Blank" n then turns into an advertisement in a seperate box once am on the net.

    I have ran AVG Free / Spybot and Housecall and nowt has changed?

    Anyone any other ideas cos as much as its not doing owt serious its just shat.

    Its pissing me off now i left the house with the PC on and when i come back about 8 pages were open?

    I have tried Adaware and use Spyboth but nowt.

    An About:Blank opens and then from that it turns into a full page and then an advertisement which when i close is ok but just an inconvenience?

    Any other ideas?

    Cheers
