Firefox

Can you download some utility from the hard drive manufacture to test the drive? What brand is it?

Some of these features are already available in the Pro version using the Scheduler: Wake Computer from sleep to perform task (computer will go back to sleep on its owe depending on your power settings) Perform scheduled scan silently from system account Terminate Program when scan completes successfully. Remove and quarantine all threats automatically Save log files regardles of user settings Restart the computer if required for threat removal.

Doug, your firewall may have logs that may be able to show you what program is trying to access those sites. You should be concerned that these are happening to you everyday as you stated. Do you have any P2P programs running, Skype, or Messenger programs. These can produce these blocks. If not you need to find out if you have an infection that is not being detected, perhaps a rootkit.

OK Normally windows XP puts the users in a folder called C:\Documents and Settings In your version of windows then do you have a list of users under the folder: C:\Users

Please look in the folder C:\Documents and Settings and tell us what you see there.

This is strange, its under ONE Administrator account and then in the Start Menu\Startup folder? Can you check that Startup folder and see if all those folders exist there?

Boy that version 1.47 sure does sound like its going to have a lot of cool new features and fixes.... Can't wait for it to come out.

You should be using an administrator account.

sometimes files or setting get messed up on our systems that require some maintenance.... Scans should be performed in Normal mode to get the best effects and cleans using Malwarebytes. Although scanning in safe mode works, it will not catch all infections while in safe mode.

You should be running this software in normal mode (unless instructed to do so from an expert). Please try the following to see if it helps: Windows XP: Click on Start and select Control Panel Open Add/Remove Programs Uninstall Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware Restart your computer very important Download and run mbam-clean.exe from here NOTE: If you get SHGetValue failed with error code 0, that only means that the tool has nothing to perform, continue on with the next step.... It will ask to restart your computer, please allow it to do so very important After the computer restarts, temporarily disable your Anti-Virus and install the latest version of Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware from here Note: You will need to reactivate the program using the license you were sent via email if using the Pro version Launch the program and set the Protection and Registration. Then go to the UPDATE tab if not done during installation and check for updates. Restart the computer again and verify that MBAM is in the task tray if using the Pro version. Now setup any file exclusions as may be required in your Anti-Virus/Internet-Security/Firewall applications and restart your Anti-Virus/Internet-Security applications. You may use the guides posted in the FAQ's here or ask me and I'll explain how to do it.

Flying Horse, Good to hear, should you have any further questions don't hesitate to ask.

Just hovering over it, will most likely not execute it, hence you are probably ok. There are ways of it happening I suppose with java scripts and such, but if you want to make sure you are not infected, update your Malwarebytes and run a quick scan and see what results you get. Let us know how it goes.

Please follow the instructions located HERE to add exclusions for Malwarebytes to see if this helps with your issue.

Jabes, are you having this issue?
