Hi

Try these programs to check for any spyware that may be on your system:

Ad-Aware - www.lavasoftusa.com
Spybot - http://www.safer-networking.org/
CWShredder - http://www.spywareinfo.com/~merijn/downloads.html

Try SpyWareBlaster to stop intrusions:

Thanks, I already have ad aware and spybot - both have
been run numerous times and found various things but have
not resolved this.
However I have not tried CWshredder - will give that a go.

thanks.
