Hey

Every time im doing something on the computer. A pop-up asks me for my hotmail username and password.

I usually never run the standard MSN client (i use Miranda IM most of the time.

I scanned my computer using AVG and nothing. I looked in the Task manager nothing out of place. I noticed that a process called System (no extention) was using more memory than normal and had a PID of 4.

Any idea of how to remove the annoying thing.

This is a photo of my Task Manager and the pop-up. LINK (http://i58.photobucket.com/albums/g256/abezz/annoying.jpg)

EDIT: System seems to be were all the services are running, is a PID of 4 too low?

you opened up the stupid text file in that illegal movie you downloaded....



lol, get rid of that junk task manager and use the windows one

youll probably see some .tmp files running as processes, kill the process, find all the files, delete them, find the registry keys with those files, delete them, look for any fishy prefetches too. enjoy.
