I am on Broadband. when i log onto windows (not the net) four browser
open up (they have the error message, cannot find server, as its befor
I have connected) the sites are http://xerver.co.uk/loud.php an
http://home.no/sopo/ (two browsers for each site).

I can close them as normal and they're no real problem but every time
log onto the computer they're back.

Any idea how to kill them??

Thanks

I would suspect a spyware or adware infestation. Take a peek at
http://rgharper.mvps.org/cleanit.htm to see if you can use my process to
narrow down and clean up any unwanted guests.
