If you haven't already, you might want to search for and download a copy of "malwarebytes" and use that to search with. The computer tech I work with say it can find and root out malware that is designed to get around the AV/anti-spyware programs.

Thank you, Randy Have you changed how your desktop is displayed, like creating a webpage and having it as your desktop. If so, and Seamonkey is your default browser, then Seamonkey is opening because it is set to display all .html. This is just a possibility, I've not had this problem though.

How do you know there is nothing external to the browser causing this? Because you scanned for viruses and didn't find any? It sure sounds like you've got a Trojan on there somewhere (regardless of your scan results). Sometimes they can be quite difficult to get rid of, and they're getting better all the time :-( Best of luck. > > Thank you, > Randy > > ___ support-seamonkey mailing list support-seamonkey@lists.mozilla.org https://lists.mozilla.org/listinfo/support-seamonkey
