As advised, someone has found a 'backdoor' way onto your hard drive. In this day and age, if you do any surfing at all, especially any adult sites, you need a good firewall, and virus protection. I was invaded by a virus so virulent, I had to have my hard drive wiped totally to eradicate it - needless to say I've got protection in place now. Some geeks must get off on this, but ultimately, these things mutate and multiply until they take over and destroy your PC.

If you know when it started do a System Restore to a date beforehand.

Also, try doing a search on files with the name of the programme/files in then remove them. It may be necessary or worthwhile to click, Start, run, type "regedit" (without the asterisks) and then do a search for the registry entries with the offending name, When you find them delete. Then defrag,

They can be a real pest to get rid of. The people who do this must enjoy causing us loads of hassle.
