Thanks for the info. There is nothing in the Add/Remove list nor could I
find any files hidden or otherwise.

On my Son's laptop he has picked up some kind of spyware called
Internet
Speed Monitor. The IE Browser will open on its own and shows Internet
speed
monitor on the title at the top of the browser but the page is blank
and
the address bar shows:
http://c5.zedo.com/jsc/c5/ff2.html?n...9;d=15jw=l;h=1.
Can someone tell me how to cure this? I have tried a couple of spyware
programs but to no avail.

Much much more might need doing than these steps.

Jim, I'd suggest researching it yourself on the web - plenty of hits with
Google at

It won't necessarily be as easy as "Andrew E." states. Specialist steps
needed - research with Google.
