    thanks Mike - have done that, run a scan and removed the trojaninstell and
    PSGuard found. However despite the antipyware scan telling me there is no
    threat I still have my background screen when I log in as completely black
    with the original warning still showing. as I was doing the scan it was
    flicking between that and the "teletubby" screen image! any ideas how I
    remove the black warning page?

    Also having rebooted a couple of times each time I get a pop up telling me
    that an internet security zone change needs my approval. I click block and
    it goes but can I stop this happening in future or is it just part of the
    security check?

    thanks again for your help
