Tweak can spot malicious programmes on your machine. It
might identify the problem but a better solution is to
look up "SPYBOT" on Patrick Kolla's site
This free program will detect and destroy any spyware,
malware or trojan programmes. related site from panic
ware will prevent new baddies getting aboard.
