Ive somehow got something on my PC in work and every morning when I boot my PC it pops up an IE windows with porn sites showing!!! This is bad because I connect through a proxy server and everything is logged and if they think im looking at porn I could end up in BIG trouble. Ive tried checking the start up folder but nothing and I cant seem to find any application that might be causing it to happen. PLEASE CAN YOU HELP!!!!???

Hi Lee
I would run Adaware, if you can in stall it, it maybe a spyware cookie. Also check in your Add/Remove in the Control Panel for any new programs that may have gotten installed, without you knowing. Also Update your Virus Programs Def files and run a Scan on your Computer, it could be a Virus.
Good Luck, Adaware download is on my Home Page.

Hi Mike
It didnt work, it did find stuff and got rid of them but it still happens, when I switch on first thing in the morning I get three pop windows from Internet explorer! Ive check add remove but I cant see anything and there doesnt seem to be anything running in the background (there is a lot of stuff running so hard to tell!) Is there anyway of seeing what apps run in order, something like a keylogger but for apps??

Try Deleteing everything in the Windows/Temp folder, it might be there. Clear your Internet Cache and check the Off line box too. When you startup and they popup, do ctrl-alt-delete and see what is running, then go to Start-Run and type msconfig and uncheck the program that is starting up, also note where it is located and the name, then do a Find for it, if you find it and have something like Clean Sweep, uninstall it. If it is starting up at bootup it should be in msconfig. Let me know if any of these work !
