I went to that location and AVG detected that its a virus, i opted to heal it, it didn't solve the problem. Uhm, AVG also detects "Trojan Horse Downoader Agent's" and plenty of them. After scanning with spybot and ad-aware and clening it up. It all goes back again. Here's my registry without doing spybot, AVG and adaware.

Don't open e-mail attachments without first scanning them with an up-to-date
anti virus program, even after doing that I would be very careful. Don't click on any executables in e-mails or any other links that you're not sure of.
Watch your surfing habits, don't click on or download anything you're not sure of. Don't install a program that hasn't been recommended by a reputable organization.

Good luck and thanks for using the forum - MrC :wavey:
