Hi, Eventually mcaffe on-demand found something; It was detected as 'Bot-FAD!1D74FC9653BB & 'Bot-FAD!0EF8D7922B7F. It found two files called "tmp136.exe' in my C: users temp folder. It also found two files called "20[1].zip" and "23[1].zip" in my temp internet files @ ... \Content.IE5\618ZM57F. The application which mcafee recognsied them as belonging to is called "igfxdn86.exe". Problem seems solved now hopefully. Thx,
