Here's whats going on. First my browsers defaulted to "about:blank" no matter what I change it to it always starts there.

I constantly get banner ads for spyware every 10 seconds. No anti spyware seems to work. I've tried everything. Norton antivirus Liveupdate/full system scan. Spybot you name it. I suspect a trojan.

It will automatically try to dialup my ISP...not good.

I've even got Zone Alarm running. Now heres what's the services running on my system:

1. Generic host porcess for Win32 services

2. "same as above" with: Listening to UDP Port 2234

3. Listening to port: TCP: 2869,5000 UDP 1900

Even if I do close those ports how do I get rid of the offending trojan?

This is one mean motha!

Did you try doing a clean boot, off a cd or floppy, then running your anti-virus?

Try that one now.

Freddy's link somehow got some extra characters in it.

Have you tried booting up into Safe Mode, then going into the registry. Delete the items that run that are located in your system folder. Also delete any services running.

You can then run a virus scan and kill the little bastard.

I have since found out that both FireFox and Mozilla will interpret the link successfully, but IE 6 doesn't. When I first tried it, I was using IE 6 and then used www.tinyurl.com to create the shorter version of it. I had to remove the <br /> near the end before I could.

I would agree the site mentioned in the link is very active.
