Hi dinos36...welcome to CTH.

McAfee describes this as an advertising/user monitoring trojan.

FTAPP.DLL (http://vil.mcafee.com/dispVirus.asp?virus_k=99206&)

Very rare...only three hits from a Google search. You can uninstall it via Control Panel > Add/Remove programs.

How up-to-date is your virus scanner? You should try this free online AV scan and see if it reports anything:

HouseCall (http://housecall.antivirus.com/housecall/start_corp.asp)

You should also download and run AdAware (http://www.lavasoftusa.com/). Let us know what it finds.

Thank you for your help HKEd
I found the file IEHELPER.DLL in files and folders and deleted it.
It seems to have fixed the problem so far.
Thanks again.
