[QUOTE="scott82, post: 370018, member: 35453"] I've got a feeling that there might be a sly virus located on the computer. I did a check with MBRCheck which I once used a couple of years back to rid myself of another virus. This time I noticed it show up "unknown" in yellow suggesting that the proper MRB code isn't in place. In addition, I have also very recently within the last week or so noticed that IE doesn't let me connect. I rarely use this and stick with Firefox, but that works fine. After checking the addons, I noticed that Avast was set to disable in regards to running protection, so I'm wondering if this is why something might have gotten through. Usually in FF, any site that has suspect viruses trying to get through, it will flag up automatically. I have tried TDSkiller but it isn't showing anything either, and as I mentioned already, MBR Check gives me options to reset the MBR to a legit code but returns as unknown when repeating the process. Below is the readout I get from MBRCheck. I'll run tests through anything else if necessary. Thanks [/QUOTE]
