hi guys, i have a little problem. i installed ie and firefox and both give me the same problem. the problem is on some links, the browser will close by it self. if i try the links on another computer, they work... sometimes, if i click on a link and it closes, when i reopen the browser and click on the same link, it will work. first time i ever see this!!

anyone know what i should do?

thanks!
 
Sounds like a possible trojan. If you can go into safe mode with networking and download these 2 things. Ewido however will only work if your on 2000 or xp. So if your not just ignore its link and just download the other one.



Run a full system scan with ewido in safe mode preferably under your account. Download hijackthis from the link. Extract to desktop or prefered folder. Open it up, choose do a system scan and save a logfile and post the logfile on here. Dont try to fix anything unless your sure of what your doing as most items are legit. Also if you havent already empty all temp folders.
 
i did the xoftspy scan and fix and here is the hijack log:

Remove these 2

This looks weird, as this is a legit file usually when I go through these logs I see only one yet 2 are showing on yours.

Also I highly reccomend running ewido.
