Thank you Jon... I will continue this. If this does not either identify and
resolve the problem it is time to re-format and re-install.

Have you tried the Vipre command line scanner? I reckon it'll scan things
that it might not be able to when Windows was running... I think John posted
the link on here a week or so ago.

Hi John:

I have run into an almost upstoppable virus/trojan. 

The system I have runs corporate Symatecs, has run malbytes, runs Vipre and
Spybot and still things are not acting normally. All the packages are
up-to-date, all have been run and no infection of any kind shows.

The only reason I know there are issues going on is that a command window
keep popping up and disappearing and none of the browsers are working
right... they keep bouncing to odd sites at random... today's site of choice
is Sybase though that site has never been accessed from that system.

Any ideas?

Jim
