The reason I suspected a rootkit problem was every time I ran reg seeker, This came up no matter how often I fixed it.
HkeyRoot WINWORD.EXE. after searching google I found this
http://securityresponse.symantec.com/avcenter/venc/data/trojan.drivus.html
I was unable to find any of the other stuff it mentions and I followed their instructions.
It didnt work but I ran the rootkit revealer and it says simply no discrepancies found. If I reboot my pc I guarantee it will be back again.
This is getting worse, I shut down my msn and got an error saying encountered a problem and has to close etc etc and the box came up with "more info" but when I tried to view that I got another error now that I believe is conected to when I had firefox because firefox wouldnt let me view the online crash analysis site with IE. Infact ive had many problems since getting rid of firefox.
