    I am a MOM that keeps the family computer running.. Here is what is happening.

    every 15 minutes or so a .exe process shows up on my task manager with a random number letter combination. You notice it because IE goes to the "we cannont display the site you requested" splash page thingy.

    i end task. refresh and VIOLA. back to normal

    I have run this morning:
    Adaware
    an avast virus scan
    Cleanup!
    Free Fix
    I have bazooka running always
