have you looked into a reading comprehension program?

I know I read something recently about a file that people had downloaded, which changed the settings within IE. It's a semi-disguised type of trojan (but not even a trojan in its truest sense).
If you havn't already, run your Windows Update to download the latest MS IE security patch. Microsoft recently made an announcement of a programming flaw that allows this kind of thing to happen.
I'll let you know if I come up w/ anything else.
