Incredimail...hmmmm.. Toolbars are a no, no..

I don't understand why Avira is showing minimized. Did you scan your computer for viruses? Is it updated?

Avira is damn good by the way.

Try the following:

1) Go into the browser and clear the cache.

2)Go to Start/ Run/ type in CMD, hit enter. Enter ipconfig/flushdns Hit enter.

3)Now type in arp -a Hit enter. It should show one entry. If not , what are they?

4)Host file can be a problem too. It is located at, C:\Windows\system32\drivers\etc\ You need to change the option in tools/ folder/ options to show extensions. Now rename the host file to be a text file. Renmae to host.txt Now open the file. There should not be any listing except 127.0.0.1 localhost. After viewing, rename the host file back the way it was without the .txt at the end to simply read host. I think spybot will clean the host file automatically. In which case you don't have to mess around with the host file. Spybot - S&D download and review - adware and spyware removal from SnapFiles You should go to the host file, right click it and select the option for read only. After you run spybot.

You may not have anything malicious on there at all. It could be corruption. Those tool bars could have done it.
