Well, we don't know what virusscan revealed exactly which change and
which
the exact message and path to the file was, so it could just be some
malware coming in disguise. She better asks about this in another
newsgroup talking about malware.

The result of the scan said only that ntoskrnl.exe had changed, but
not in what way. There was also the same result for kernel32.dll,
user32.dll, and shell32.dll, and the path to all four is
F:\WINDOWS\system32. I have carried out a malware scan with Ad-Aware
with nothing found and also run Hijackthis where the results showed
nothing that I was unable to recognise.

It is perhaps a bit drastic, but would re-installing Outlook Express
and/or IE6 be worth a try, do you think? If so, how would I go about
it, please?

Thanks
Kate
