I'd welcome sme suggestions as to why this might happen.Dave (XP > > Home SP3 and updates - AOL is my ISP) ************************************************** ******** This was my reply posted through Outlook Express - it has conveniently 'disappeared'! Hmmm! 'ello, 'ello. 'ello! How interesting to find that it was you, Peter, who responded to my request, just as you had done to the original poster of the HJT log. viz:- ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Hijack this logs are very hard to interpret. Best to send it to the Hijack this people that read and interpret them. They will tell you which lines are to be removed. (http://aumha.org/downloads/hijackthis.zip) is the preferred tool to use. It will help you to both identify and remove any hijackware/spyware. **Post your log to http://aumha.net/viewforum.php?f=30, http://castlecops.com/forum67.html, http://forums.subratam.org/index.php?showforum=7, or other appropriate forums for expert analysis -- Peter --------------------------------------------------------------------------- I must surely add that the link which I copied and pasted into Google as a first step, took me to examples of others who had a similar re- direction. I was not at all surprised to discover, long before your reply here, that the said link no longer acted as I had described, but had changed to send one to Hewlett-Packard. You may remember that something similar once occurred when Ann  fromthe UK User2User group sent me a copy of a screenshot from her computer by email. When I opened the screenshot using Notepad, there were 'live' links inside which went directly to sites selling the likes of Viagra and similar products. No-one believed me and very quickly 'adjustments' were made (by external sources I'm sure) so that this phenomena no longer happened. Others in that newsgroup were unable to see what I had seen. You appear to indicate that AOL(UK) is, in itself, is an 'improper' ISP. You may be correct, but I wonder if you can substantiate that allegation. Can you? Dave -- |

The registry changes can only be made though (I think!) if the actual AOL programme is installed - in my case AOL9 VR What Peter Foldes seemed to imply was that AOL(UK) as an Internet Service Provider (ISP) is not to be trusted. As far as I am aware, AOL is next only to BT (is the second biggest) Broadband supplier in the UK. I'm sure 'someone' would have noticed if they were up to no good (wouldn't they? <vbg>) I'm not so sure about Hewlett Packard though. This is some of the info. my printer sends back to base: I'm sure I will have authorised HP to collect data when I accepted their Terms and Conditions, but I do wonder if other manufacturers take the liberty of sendin back user activity back to its HQ. Do you (or anyone else) know? I found it intriguing that the 'questionable' link I found leads to .......... HP!

"Maybe I'm wrong about this, but my perception is that if one simply uses the telephone line (duly activated by AOL) for ones Broadband connection, but one does NOT install the AOL browser etc., *NO* registry changes will (or can possibly) be made to one's computer." Am I correct? TIA Dave -- |

I apologise for my ignorance, Mr Foldes but I still do not understand. I think that you are, perhaps, 'pulling my leg' as we say in the UK!  So.
