Okay, i suspect my newbie dad has gone and installed something bad from the internet onto his computer.
166mhz CPU
96MB ram
Windows 2000
The program "msnarrator.exe" is found in the C:\windows directory, and is 10kb in size. The narrator is running (seen in the ctrl+alt+del process list and no windows are visible for it). If you open an internet explorer window, then navigate to any website, after 5 seconds or so the window will close itself.
Now this only happens whilst this exe is running, so i ended the process, and you can navigate to your sites again. But after a click on a link, the EXE will be running again, then your window will close.
SO, my next step was to end the process AND delete the exe itself from the hard disk. I thought this would solve the problem, but once you click on a link again, the program is not only back, but it's CREATED the file again on the hard disk.
One thing i should also add is that my dad's never used the narrator once as far as i know, never even knew it existed, just weird this all started yesterday.
Any help would be great to sort this out.
If you need more info, just ask.
Thanks.
