I have opened a call with Sophos support to see if they can assist.
will let you know how I get on

OK please let me know.

In the mean time I'd use this free Anti-Virus program:
Click the link and Download, Install, Update and run a full scan

Hi, sorry it took so long to get back to you. With the help of Sophos support I've got my anti-virus up and running again. I've run adaware and spybot s&d and used regseeker to remove the registry key SYSTEM/ControlSet002/Control/Print/Providers/lanman print services/ideskbar I rebooted machine and used regseeker to find the ideskbar key it showed up again as previously so it must re-install itself during shutdown or startup. I think that my machine is working correctly most times but what can i do about this ideskbar? is it safe to just leave it or does it have to go? thanks Dave

The IDeskBar interface provides methods that enable you to manipulate a desk bar.

I don't think it's hurting anything. We can try and get rid of it if you like.

How's the PC running?

[Davehughes]

Hi, if it's not going to hurt I'll leave it there. the PC is performing well but something is still stopping access to the Internet after about 90 minutes. I can live with this as it only takes a reboot to sort out. thanks for all your help on this. Dave

If you dont have these three programs I would recommend that you get them. Spywareblaster, Spywareguard and IESPY AD. They will add 1000's of sites to your resticted zone and block some hijacks from happening. I also have a FREE FIREWALL and FREE ANTI VIRUS if you need one.

It is critical to have both a firewall and anti virus to protect your system.

Keep your system up to date and run Adaware & Spybot, once a week works, and hopefully you will be ok from here on. Both are available below.

Safe Surfing.

I would also suggest you read this:
