everytime I go to the site, it redirects me to install active X controls, by
clicking o n the information bar. Well the information bar does not come up.
for a while it did, and each time I would run the program, but nothing would
happen, over and over, now the info bar wont even pop up.

on a side note, my recycle bin is immediately erasing everything I send
there, and the box is not checked instricting it to do that. so I have no
idea why it is permanently erasing my recycle bin contens.

HELP!

Chances are that you're seeing the affects of a hijackware infection.

1. See if you can download/run the MSRT manually:
http://www.microsoft.com/security/ma...e/default.mspx

2. Run this online scan (in safe mode w/networking, if need be):
http://onecare.live.com/site/en-us/center/howsafe.htm

3. Run additional checks for hijackware, including posting your hijackthis
log to an appropriate forum.

When all else fails, HijackThis v2.0.2
(http://aumha.org/downloads/hijackthis.exe) is the preferred tool to use (in
conjuction with some other utilities). HijackThis will NOT fix anything on
its own, but it will help you to both identify and remove any
hijackware/spyware with assistance from an expert. **Post your log to

by an expert in such matters, not here.**

If the procedures look too complex - and there is no shame in admitting this
isn't your cup of tea - take the machine to a local, reputable and
independent (i.e., not BigBoxStoreUSA) computer repair shop.

These helped to clean up my system, so I thank you! but for some reason the
information bar still will not pop up on the windows update. and things are
still being automatically erased from my recycle bin. any other ideas?

When does your Norton Internet Security subscription expire?
