I can't really tell. But I'm almost positive its spy-ware and not a Trojan or anything. But at random times, my internet will open up to a site with this address:

file//c:/

And I know thats my C: drive, but I'm not opening it up. I'm not even touching the computer sometimes.

Anyone know what I can do to get rid of it, that wont cost me any money? I have already used the trial version of Norton to get rid of an army of Trojans I had before. So that options gone. If you know of a free spy-ware removal program, please tell me. I searched Google, but the programs I found were flagged as bad sites by Firefox.

AOL also has one.

Spybot and Ad-Aware are both free.

If you need an anti-virus program AVG Free is great, it's what I use.

Another very good one would be Spybot Search & Destroy

True but it doesn't allow you to delete the file you want to, only all the files that it thinks are spyware.
