replying to my own question but just need to clarify thaT i as it could be a
spoof!

Does this sound right??

WE GOT THE SOLUTION FOR THIS NASTY PROBLEM!!!!
It's caused by a CWS Trojan wich hijackes your computer by surfing certain
sites, such as pornografic and others.. firstly it shows you the msinfo.exe
error, and slows down your internet-connection-speed massively while hijacking
your starting-site to a very advertising search-site.

AND HERE'S THE SOLUTION:
just go to www.spywareinfo.com/articles/cws/ and download the CWSHREDDER
zip-file to fix this trojan. it works within 25sec. and makes your machine clean
again! CWS trojan cannot be found by other spy-ware-defenders such as ad-aware
or spy sweeper.


Cheers
Andrew
