Hi Chris,

Sounds like a spyware or malware problem download and run HijackThis and check the log file for any malware.

i downloaded hi jack and run a scan and saved it do you want to have a look at it?

Your log file appears to be ok, with no spyware. That's good news.

Try installing other free firewall like Sygate Personal firewall or Ashampoo Firewall before installing other firewall make sure you disable your current (jetico) firewall.

thanks for your time and efforts.:)
