PesrPatrol cleans up system but cydoor keeps installing

Everytime I go to theage.com.au my PestPatrol goes wild and cleans up all the rubbish that is put on my pc (running Windows 2000 Professional).

But now, even though I no longer visit theage.com.au cydoor keeps installing itself. PestPatrol detects and deletes it but

a: Where is it coming from now.

b: Can some securiry guru load theage.com.au and tell me what is going on with this site?

Thanks in advance.

Let me take a guess....

You have some P2P software installed, kazza, imesh, bearshare, grokster, ect....

A lot of free P2P application will detect if you delete the spyware, and then will download and install new copies.

Do you have P2P software installed, or any other freeware programs?

Just finished examining the source to the page you specified and it's clean.... no activex controls, no dll's, no .cab files, and the .js files look harmless. I don't know why you are getting any popups or messages from this page....

Thanks for the responses so far especually SheharyaarSaahil 's. I will do those things as suggested tonight.

There is a new development. I can NOW access theage.com.au from my work. I am not getting blocked. I suspect something has changed on that site in the last few days!
