I would uninstall xoftspy. It was once listed as rogue application.

I haven't got round to scanning my computer since this started happening, I'm going to do it later tonight.

The version I used ran off a U2 drive. I run AVG the same way. It allows me to scan my lab machines at school witout installing software on them.

I have used panda in the past. IIRC it found a few things that AVG missed.

I have no proof that there was anything bad on the machine. Just the weird google challange/thing/whatever.

I have a lot of faith in Zone Alarm. It will block unwanted outgoing traffic and I can figure out what to do about it.

Thanks
