Spyware?

Hi all,
Since installing a Linksys WUSB54G my computer continually wants access
to www.kimo.com.tw
has the software put spyware onto my computer? I have used Ad-Aware with
nothing found.

Regards,
Roy.

This may not help much, but kimo.com.tw is a Yahoo site, Gemtek.com.tw
is a wireless equipment site. Not the usual type of places that
hijackers send you to. I'd still run anti-spyware programs but it seems
more like a device looking for updates and an attempt to set your
homepage to a common portal (even though it may be Taiwanese).

Thanks all,
It turns out that I have a virus. Thanks for the advice anyway.
Regards,
Roy.
