My uncle brought his dell laptop to me with this problem
OS Win xp home.  IE6
if I try to open a site with the address typed inm to the address bar, or
from the favourites drop down menu, a blank  'popup' window opens, taking a
long time and taking 99% recources.  It takes ages to close and if i stop
the process in task manager another windo appears.   It wont let me download
from sites like lavasoft.  I downloaded hitmanpro on another computer and
ran that and this found lots of trojan, spyware etc but after running it the
same thing happened, but a little faster this time.

Any other ideas

TIA

Hi,
No one program can remove all malware and much of the malware currently in
circulation must be removed manually.

See these sites for help, including the posting of a HijackThis log to one
of the forums where HJT logs are analyzed:

After getting the machine cleaned up, give these 2 free, easy to use,
programs a try:
SpywareBlaster 4.0
