Hi

What kind of error messages, if any have you seen? Please try the following
programs to check for any spyware that may be on your system:

Ad-Aware - www.lavasoftusa.com
Spybot - http://www.safer-networking.org/
CWShredder - http://forum.aumha.org/downloads/cwshredder.zip
Spy Sweeper - www.webroot.com

Try SpyWareBlaster to stop intrusions:

Also virus-check your system with the latest definitions for your AV
program.

I had a similar problem after finding spyware/malware/trojan downloader. My
WINSOCK file was corrupt. Check here for a fix
