I get the window upon start up...." can not find 'file:///' make sure path or internet address is correct." Other than making my computer turn off and on in stand by mode there is not a dire problem. I just close it and go on my way when in use. It is a bit annoying and we all like to have clean machines don't we? I've tried to search and delete. Have a fear that McAfee may be 'protecting' the problem in registry. Any thoughts?

Hi,

Download DDS and save it to your desktop from here (http://www.techsupportforum.com/sectools/sUBs/dds) or here (http://download.bleepingcomputer.com/sUBs/dds.scr) or here (http://www.forospyware.com/sUBs/dds).
Disable any script blocker, and then double click dds.scr to run the tool.
When done, DDS will open two (2) logs:

Save both reports to your desktop. Post them back to your topic.
