I tried the suggested programs to remove the possible infection. There has been a
possitive result and I have not had a problem for a week, I think it was either ASEScanner
or the Hijack This program that got rid of the problem. There were quite a few files
in each program so I just deleted them all and the problem has not come back. Sorry
I could not say what it was exactly but thank you very much for suggesting these
programs and I hope it helps others in the future.
