Every time I log onto the net I get "dropped" with a blue-screen type message saying loghexcc16 was prevented access (maybe by ZoneAlarm). It looks suspicious, cos its not EXACTLY like a MS blue-screen so I don't want to let it through. Anyone know what this is - Symantec & Microsoft don't have it in their KB????

"Symantec & Microsoft don't have it in their KB????"

Neither does Google, and that's very unusual! It's not part of Windows, or IE, and it doesn't appear in my ZoneAlarm directory. I'd recommend that you find it on your drive, rename it, then reboot and see what program complains. If you then can surf the net without trouble, delete it. It may be some kind of trojan, or just some badly written code that came with something you've installed.

Cannot rename it as it is "being used by another application"

But solved prob anyhow- booted in safe mode, deleted 2 files in prefetch & system32, then cleaned out 3 reg entries. Zonelabs have asked me to send them the binaries-looks like a new or certainly unheard of trojan (sub7???)
