If it's specific to your browsers it sounds like a toolbar or other plugin/BHO. The program hijackthis! may be able to help identify those beyond the usual eyeballing of your windows registry.
If you'd like some alternatives, though this won't find BHO installations, you can export the following keys from your registry and we can take a look: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run Any program listed in either of those nodes of your registry tree will be executed when windows starts up. Some common items to be found in there would be unnecessary wireless configuration apps, unnecessary printer configuration apps, quicktime, nvidia control panel, IM clients, and so on. The other thing you may find in there are viruses. The best time to clean that is when running in safe mode so that there is less chance that your virus is running and will repair the key that you remove. There's also a forum (bleepingcomputer.com or something?) where folks are encouraged to upload the output from hijackthis! for analysis by the community; locating problems and offering solutions. -------------------- ::jafomatic

I would try Spybot anti spyware, and AVG antivirus scans. These two have never failed me. Good luck mate

Usually this software was helpful to me - http://download.cnet.com/Spybot-Search-amp...4-10122137.html
But some trojans are tough and I only get to remove them by formatting whole drive and reinstalling the OS...

This has saved me in the past from something similar, as simple as it sounds: restore the system to a previous date like a week or two ago when it wasn't happening.
It won't hurt and is fast and easy. -------------------- Guitars:

QUOTE (Sensible Jones @ Feb 27 2010, 05:14 PM)  How do I do that Fran? If it's of any use to anyone my Error Log reads as:- "AMLI:ACPI BIOS is attempting to read from an illegal IO Port address (0x71). which lies in the 0x70 - 0x71 protected address range. This could lead to system instability. Please contact your system vendor for technical assistance." Any ideas?  Sorry Jones, didn't se your reply until now It's easy, go to start > programs > accesories > system tools > system restore But I hope you had already solved it by now

SJ, I don't think that is a trojan etc but a BIOS issue see Microsoft Q283649: http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?...b;EN-US;q283649. It's caused as your Bios is trying to write to a port in the AML. Are you on an Athlon by any chance? Just asking as they were known for this. You need to flash upgrade the Bios on your pc mate. -------------------- Get your music professionally mastered by anl AES registered Mastering Engineer.

Thanks for that link Tony, that explains what's been going on!! I can't seem to find any BIOS Updates though. It's not an Athlon, it's a Compaq Deskpro EP/SB, Pent III. Can't find any relevant info on the HP site either! QUOTE (Daniel Realpe @ Mar 7 2010, 05:26 PM) seems like a serious virus...did you manage to fix it? I never can fix serious viruses....just reinstall...then again I haven't got them in a long time Fortunately it doesn't seem to be a virus as Tony points out! Tomorrow I am going to move all my files to another drive and then re-format this one and re-install XP! -------------------- I'd rather have a full Bottle in front of me than a full Frontal Lobotomy!!

If it's a Compaq they may not put up a BIOS fix - long time since I have any dealing with Compaq but I kind of remember them preferring people to use authorised techs for things like BIOS updates. Here's the UK website though just in case SJ. -------------------- Get your music professionally mastered by anl AES registered Mastering Engineer.
