I believe my system is under attack.
I cannot remove internet explorer from my system to test whether
the pop ups can launch browsers in the absence of Internet Explorer

My browser (IE 6, service pack 1)
fails the test below:
http://secunia.com/Internet_Explorer_File_Download_Extension_Spoofing_Test/
because the .pdf file dialog box interchange
DOES OCCUR.
I am using:
SpyBot
MRU Blaster
Cookie Monster
Ad-Aware
and of course
McAfee Virus Scan Enterprise
All with new definitions files in
the past 24 hours.
Technicians looking at the system
have suggested backing up data and wiping.
I am behind a firewall.
MRU Blaster just found two Windows UserAssist MRU - {8HEX-4HEX-4HEX-12HEX}
and SpyBot just found one Alexa Related in C:\WNNT\Web\RELATED.HTM
Any suggestions?
