From there you enter proccesses and close out the (random number) exe process. mine was 3621351.exe yours may be similar. once that it stopped you can enter what you wish but i recommend downlaoding the free version of Malwarebytes intsalling it and running it on full imediatly.

Hope that helps, if you havnt already sorted it :) Hi Elaine,

I hope this solution of yours will work on my office PC. A dialog box keep asking me to save a file everytime I login to some flash games online. Thank you Frank.

This program will find settings changed by spyware, malware, or other unwanted programs. Go to http://free.antivirus.com/hijackthis/. If this doesn't work have you used system restore? You would have needed to restore your system recently in order to use this windows utility. You just need to select a date when you think your system was clean. Elaine,

One of my family members just asked me about difficulties they had installing the latest version of Flash on their Macbook. Possibly downloaded the Security Tool, but could not install?
