Hi Paul,

I am up to date on Critical Updates and I do use AVG. I
have tried doing a system restore to an earlier date.
What I don't understand is the Trojan Horse Removal tool
says it detects a TH and gives the location and says to
run AVG to removie it but when I run AVG it says it finds
nothing????
Meanwhile the TH keeps popping up in between the IE error
message. I will try and apply your other suggestions but
it's hard to stay on line. I keep getting knocked off.
Thanks so much for your help.~ Connie
