hope this works? I can not upload it.
It says invalid file??
I'm sorry for taking up the time and space
It looks like a change in registry value is the problem

For the time being can you copy and paste the details in this thread.

O3 - Toolbar: (no name) - {BDAD1DAD-C946-4A17-ADC1-64B5B4FF55D0} - (no file)
O8 - Extra context menu item: &Search - ....
O17 - HKLM\System\CCS\Services\Tcpip\..\{25A1717F-55C5-4A55-8BC3-6A025CEE66CC}: NameServer = 85.255.116.77,85.255.112.212

I Think the number 17 is causing you the problem it has put in nameservers from Ukraine

Sami;
Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!
What a smart, Kind person you are!

I take this opportunity to thank all those who responded to my dilemma and hope that the information that has transpired may help others in the future.

Having said that, I am sure that none could be as silly as I
I don't know what went wrong to cause the problems, but I have my suspicions LOL

At the risk of being a PITA, I have one more question.
Should I re-install IE7? which is what I was running before
Cheers, and good on all Ya's

You are welcome.

Yes you can reinstall IE7 now.

Hi Petri;
I have no idea what happened, I'm thinking that there was some confusion between the two security systems I have running, one of them may have let something slip through

I take this opportunity to thank you for your contribution in helping with this problem.

I have learned a lot from this site, it is indeed a good one!
Cheers!
