Internet Speed Monitor
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. -- Jim S |

Jim, I'd suggest researching it yourself on the web - plenty of hits with Google at http://www.google.co.uk/search?hl=en...pywar e&meta= |

Internet Speed Monitor
Thanks for the info. There is nothing in the Add/Remove list nor could I
find any files hidden or otherwise. -- Jim "Olórin" wrote in message ... "Andrew E." wrote in message ...
