Answer 1

Sounds more like a spyware trying to phone home.

To check for spyware: Run both Ad-aware (http://www.lavasoftusa.com/software/adaware/) and Skybot (http://www.safer-networking.org/) to remove any spyware. Run both as one may caught something the other missing. Then go to microsoft.com and download Defender to protect against future infections.

Answer 2

This might be spyware, and this file may be hidden. Do a spyware scan first of all. If this doesn't work Open my computer. There click tools -> Folder options. In there click SHOW HIDDEN FILES AND FOLDERS. Do the search again. Also open internet explorer. In the tools menu go to internet options. In the Connections tab click NEVER DIAL A CONNECTION. Hope this will be helpful to u.

Hi, there maybe something wrong with your IE.

i recommand you to try firefox.

it can block that annoying ads and disable any virus on webpage. as you know, most virus are spread through internet.

firefox is much smaller than IE, so it run faster than IE.
