try starting in safe mode,then run an up to date version of spybot,search & destroy, if that dont sort it run your anti virus, again in safe mode,you might also want to empty temp internet files and turn off system restore till you catch it.

If you have no anti-virus google AVG FREE and install & run that.

When you have iliminated the virus turn system restore back ON and create a restore point.

Hope this helps.

Other than that bring your pc to me and ill sort it £200 per hour

Dont tell me you have no anti virus installed? if you do uninstall the shit programme thats clearly not working otherwise they will conflict if you have 2 av's running

I run AVG aswell.

When you have done the above google trend micro online scanner, and do a FULL system scan on there, its free ive used it myself before now

Probably have, you just havent got anything bad enough to realise it.

It is needed for some people clearly.
