Hi Spartan,

It sounds like something has got in. First thing to do is run a couple of online virus scans, here's some below:

Trend Micro Housecall - http://housecall.trendmicro.com

Panda ActiveScan - http://www.pandasecurity.com/homeusers/solutions/activescan/

Bit Defender Online Scan - http://www.bitdefender.co.uk - click "Scan Now", IE only...

Once you've run a couple of scans, they should automatically remove anything detected.

Next you need to download and install HijackThis from TrendMicro. This will analyse regular registry items and also things that start up when you turn on your machine. Once you've run a scan, copy the entire log that will be generated, and paste as a reply to this thread - we'll then be able to see if there's anything else on your machine.

Once you've done that we'll be able to tell you how next to proceed.

Cheers,

Ad

Thanks man. Will look at this now, what was the final results of the BitDefender Scan?

Also if Panda didn't work - try this one: http://onecare.live.com/site/en-us/center/howsafe.htm - Windows OneCare Safety Scan

Will post back in a tick once I've looked at the log.

Ok, the log looks clean... which is good news.

Final thing to try for you - visit http://www.ewido.net/en/onlinescan/ and run the free online scan, this will (well, should) find any spyware that may be lurking and hasn't been picked up.

Also finally, download and install Windows Defender from here: http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details...;displaylang=en

Hope this helps - let us know how you get on

    • Ocenaudio 3.19.3 by Razvan Serea  Ocenaudio is a full featured, fast and easy to use audio and music editor. It is the ideal software for people who need to edit and analyze audio files without complications. Ocenaudio also has powerful features that will please more advanced users. To assist ocenaudio development, a powerful toolset of audio editing, analysis and manipulation called Ocen Framework was created. ocenaudio is also based on Qt framework, a well known library for cross-platform development. Cross-platform support ocenaudio is available for all major operating systems: Microsoft Windows, Mac OS X and Linux. Native applications are generated for each platform from a common source, in order to achieve excelent performance and seamless integration with the operating system. All versions of ocenaudio have a uniform set of features and the same graphical interface, so the skills you learn in one platform can be used in the others. VST plugins support Ocenaudio supports VST (Virtual Studio Technology) plugins, giving its users access to numerous effects. Like the native effects, VST effects can use real-time preview to aide configuration. Real-time preview of effects Applying effects such as EQ, gain and filtering is an important part of audio editing. However, it is very tricky to get the desired result by adjusting the controls configuration alone: you must listen the processed audio. To ease the configuration of audio effects, ocenaudio has a real time preview feature: you hear the processed signal while adjusting the controls. The effect configuration window also includes a miniature view of the selected audio signal. You can navigate on this miniature view in the same way as you do on the main interface, selecting parts that interest you and listening to the effect result in real time. Multiselection for delicate editions To speed up complex audio files editing, ocenaudio includes multi-selection. With this amazing tool, you can simultaneously select different portions of an audio file and listen, edit or even apply an effect to them. For example, if you want to normalize only the excerpts of an interview where the interviewee is talking, just select them and apply the effect. Eficient edition of large files With ocenaudio, there is no limit to the length or the quantity of the audio files you can edit. Using an advanced memory management system, the application keeps your files open without wasting any of your computer's memory. Even in files several hours long, common editing operations such as copy, cut or paste happen almost instantly. Fully featured spectrogram Besides offering an incredible waveform view of your audio files, ocenaudio has a powerful and complete spectrogram view. In this view, you can analyze the spectral content of your audio signal with maximum clarity. Advanced users will be surprised to find that the spectrogram settings are applied in real time. The display is updated immediately when altering features such as the number of frequency bands, window type and size and dynamic range of the display.
