everytime I switch off my pc, I have to log into my google homepage, scoobynet and any other board or place I would normally be logged into automatically. Anyone any idea why this is happening? Have I got a virus

A virus or Spyware - what Anti-Spyware are you running????

Incidentally i run MS Beta but sometimes i scan and it gives me the all clear where as Spybot will pick up loads.

Send Gillp95 a PM, he does this sort of thing for a living

thanks chief, I'll do that.
powerman1, the cookies were working, which makes me think I've now got a virus or spyware
more work required I think,

try www.pcworld.com and download the free adware for personal use and when installed run it you will be shocked whats actually on your machine

 

thanks powerman1, downloaded ad aware, but I was already running spybot which would come up with stuff occasionally.
Scanning now

 

well that worked thanks powerman1, job done. I'll run that occasionally in the future,
cheers,
chris.

 

I run four spywares and they all find different things..Spybot,Ad-Aware,BT Yahoo,Microsoft Beta all these are free and dont seem to conflict with each other.A word of warning though after you have run your Spyware programm you will not be able to use the system restore(xp) back to that day at which you run the Syware scans.
P.S Ad-Aware seems to find a file called VX2 and you will have to add the VX2 cleaner to your Ad-aware program which if i remember correctly is also available form PCworld....free
