This is the first time its happened to me and I run Lavasoft Ad-aware scan every week too.

Well when I bootup my PC, Windows Explorer asks for rights to access the Internet and when I let it, it opens up a Hostultra.com popup :mad:

If I deny Windows Explorer from accessing the internet, I can't browse the internet.

How can I remove this annoying popup?

I have done a full system scan with Ad-aware Pro SE 1.03 and the popup still appears :mad: :eek:
 
Ok, I've scanned with Spybot and it removed a few things but now after bootup I still have a open process of iexplore.exe and after about 2 minites I get a Explorer error :confused:

Got anything in your startup folder (perhaps even hidden in there.

Also look in

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run

For anything out of the ordinary.
 
Thanks Electronic Punk, I will try HijackThis.

I also just did a netstat on bootup and found where iexplore.exe is connecting to.

When I close iexplore, the connection disappears from the netstat list.

Yes. NTFS basically got flushed down the proverbial. :eek:

Also Hi EP and people. I found this place again while looking through a oooollllllldddd backup. I have filled over 10TB and was looking at my collection of antiques. Any bids on the 500Mhz Win 95 fix?
Any of the SP crew still out there?

Impressed you have kept this alive this long EP! So many sites have come and gone. :(

Just did some crude math and I apparently joined almost 18yrs ago, how is that possible???
