I dont know how it happend but ill tell you my little story.

A few weeks ago i noticed my windows media player had disappeared and whenever i try playing any of my songs it comes up with something called a "THINInstaller" on the taskbar, when it reaches 100%, it comes up with a popup saying "G" and yes, or cancel, after this is asks to restart my computer. Im wary of this so i cancel the restart computer, am i being stupid or am i right to be cautious, can anyone spread light on my situation?

Check your installed programs files and look for that program. I would have done the same thing and NOT installed it. You might want to use an online scanner for Trojan viruses.

Try either Ad Aware or Spybot Search and Destroy, or both. Download and install it/them and then scan your computer. Keep it/them updated and scan your computer about every week or so to keep as much junk off your computer as possible.

You can get Ad Aware [ Register or login to view links on this board.]
or
you can get Spybot S&D [ Register or login to view links on this board.]
