I have been getting an Explorer User Prompt popup when I visit certain URLs
that will not go away and replicates quickly. When I finally close down
browser it kills my Internet DSL connection. Have to disable and remove
entree in MSConfig to get back Online. Anyone else seen this?
The crifx is the entree in msconfig...

the entry that you see in msconfig is most probably for a virus. try using
the antivir free edition antivirus and scan your entire computer using this.
you can download this from www.free-av.com. tell me if this works.

While I appreciate the response, obviously it is a virus or trojan and is
not found by the myriad of AV adn other security programs I am already
running.

i know that you are already running a few of them and i dont mean to say any
of them are bad. But consider this: every antivirus program has its own
method of scanning and "catching" these viruses. In my experience this
particular one has been the most successful. So you may want to give it a
try. You got nothing to lose there do you?

BTW what is the prompt that you keep getting??

Best wishes
