I have this afternoon seen the following information suddenly appear as a
site in my Trusted Zone under the security tab in IE6, and when I click on
'remove' it disappears, and when I again open Internet Options security,
Trusted Zone, it is back again. The exact entry is *.13.165.115.59 which
looks like an IP address. I contacted my IP, and they deny it is anything to
do with them. Could anyone please throw some light on this, and, if it is
necessary to remove the offending entry, how to do so?
TIA

Run a /thorough/ check for hijackware, including posting your hijackthis log
to an appropriate forum.

When all else fails, HijackThis v2.0.2
(http://aumha.org/downloads/hijackthis.exe) is the preferred tool to use.
It will help you to both identify and remove any hijackware/spyware with
assistance from an expert. **Post your log to

http://aumha.net/viewforum.php?f=30, or other appropriate forums for review
by an expert in such matters, not here.**

If the procedures look too complex - and there is no shame in admitting this
isn't your cup of tea - take the machine to a local, reputable and
independent (i.e., not BigBoxStoreUSA) computer repair shop.

That was my question to the newsgroup under
microsoft.public.windowsxp.general yesterday and I would very much
appreciate help in resolving this issue. I haven't seen any reply yet in
that group.:)

Thank you for your reply; however, as I didn't post my question in
Google in the first place, but in Outlook Express, I cannot understand
how it got there. No wonder I didn't see it! Perhaps I've got another
bug! I will follow up the steps outlined.:o:)
