Ok guys I've been struggling the last few days with something I don't understand. I somehow got some sort of trojen or something on my machine that has been messing with Internet Explorer. I've used Ad-aware to remove it, I've got Hijack This and have tried that. I've even installed every update and security patch for windows xp... and nothing.
The symptoms are I will be in explorer and suddenly the window will lose its highlight, as if another window has become active. It actually has happened twice while typing this message. The problem on rare occasions I get popups even though I have the google popup blocker on.
here is my hijack this log
