Iâd:
a) check for spyware â what youâre describing certainly sounds like it.

b) check to see whatâs running on start-up. Using that Microsoft KB article as a guide for what to look for, see if similar items have somehow been placed in your startup

Got To Run and type regedit
Double click on HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE
THEN SOFTWARE
THEN microsoft
windows
current version
run
delete ANYTHING that contains WJVIEW
chances are that its adwareâŠ
I had the same problem on my Win ME Machine
If ANYONE TELLS YOU TO DELETE WJVIEW IS A COLMPLETE IDIOTâŠNEVER DO THATâŠ
