If so, download, install, update and run AdAware, Spybot Search and Destroy, CWshredder and Spyware Blaster. If you can't download under any user, see if you can on another computer. Burn the programs to a disk then install, update, run each program and delete anything they find.
I have a dell 8250 running Widows XP. It is set up so I have a "desktop", my husband has his own and then my daughter has her own. Recently, (in the 4-5 months) I have been unable to download anything. Whenever I click on a "download" button, I am switched to a Smart Biz.finder web page! If I log onto my husband's desktop or my daughter's, I have no problems downloading.
The 2nd problem is that about 50% of the time, when I open certain webpages, the text is HUGE! So I might see two words per line...which makes it very difficult to read!
And then just a few days ago, all my email has converted to italic text...very very annoying!
I have scanned for viruses and found nothing that would seem to cause this. I suspect some spyware for the inability to download but can'r figure out what is causing this.
Hope someone can help...
