Since installing 7 on the 10/12/06 I keep getting windows opening up for
Winfix , Amaena (Trojan Vundo), Driver Cleaners and other rubbish. They all
come though and IE window that opens up. Norton picks them up and they seem
to be mainly in IE7 Security Update Files. This is driving me nuts! I've
run One Care twice and Norton regularly but it still keeps happening. I had
no probs until I installed IE7.

Any suggestions please??

When all else fails, HijackThis v1.99.1
(http://aumha.org/downloads/hijackthis.zip) is the preferred tool to use.
It will help you to both identify and remove any hijackware/spyware. **Post

forums for expert analysis, 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.
