tristonsmy
Hi, my machine picked up a virus , the O. S is 2000pro, it managed to get past Outpost, Norton, Adaware se and Spy bot, none of these could find anything wrong so I installed Spyware Dr which did find problems and a mate installed Trojan Hunter which found several more problems.

Prompted for Passport for no apparent reason

Christianb
Hi Gang, It seems like this has happened maybe 10 times now. I get this prompt for my passport and can't figure out where it's originating from. The only local process that could/should be asking for that is MSN Messenger, but when I look in task manager it says Explorer.
