Re: Browser keeps opening new windows

Hi, has there been any news on this particular baddie?

It seems my dad has run into this and can't get rid of it.

Norton detected it as "download.trojan". wonderfully helpful eh?

I am about two hours away from the machine so I cant see the virus in action but i can certainly try to answer any questions anybody may have.

Thanks
