Trojan Horse

It certainly does make sense.... And - as it is happening on other sites for you too....

OK... If you are willing, let's try this... As you are running IE 8...

• Open Internet Explorer - and CLICK ON THIS LINK: http://windowsupdate.microsoft.com
• Next select CUSTOM and scan
• If a Root Certificates update is listed (possibly in the Optional Software updates category on the left-hand side of the scan results window), install it...

As well - it *could be* that you have some other AV program on your computer, which is still held in your browser sessions - BUT - we'll get to that in a while, OK??

Best to you!

John,

I did as you suggested and checked for any regular updates(none needed) then to the custom scan and looked in the software updates and found one concerning security certificates. I installed that software, restarted my computer, to no avail. I really thought that you had hit a home run.

I have set my computer where all of the day's history is deleted when I close it down. Also, Norton does a "cleanup" approx. every 20-30 days.


I really feel guilty taking you folks time with my computer glitch. As I stated, it does not stop me from entering the website, just is a "pain" being there on the sites that I frequent, but not all of the sites

Thank you for all of your help.

Richard
