Maybe it is from some software that is set to autostart...

whats the message say? its kinda hard to read it.

you should be able to magnify it.

it says "Could not authenticate to server"

ah, i see that now.

theres no way of telling really, id say if you dont figure it out, post a log.

EDIT: and let them know of your problem. they may be able to find the program thats doing this to you.

post a log? how do i do that?

i believe he means a HijackThis log

ok.....

what is it?

Ka-Blam! the guide to using HiJackThis.

thanks for that.

is this what you wanted?

I'm far from an expert on HJT logs but that appears to be at least part of the problem. 177a is a browser hijacker. You should run a full virus scan and dowload and run Ewido (ideally run both in safe mode with system restore turned off) see if they remove it. Then post a new HJT log in the Hijack This thread HERE

I'll let the more knowledgeable members analyze the log a little more fully.

You should hit CTRL+ALT+DEL (Task Manager) and see if it's listed under the Applications tab. (Is that Skype in the tray? That's my first guess.)

Also, slightly unrelated but, just noticed your version of AdAware is out of date. You're desktop pic shows AdAware 6 which is no longer supported, you should download the latest version here: AdAware SE Personal

yeah, thanks for that.

i do have the AdAware SE Personal. and i also have Adware 6. Adware 6 was just on the desktop.
