Help! I ahve been fighting this for a week now- when IE is opened a second window opens ( labeled C:\WINDOWS\DL.html ) then a second window opens that says connector object, which ocassionaly changes to accu.acculoader...if i allow it to run. Untill I yanked the phone lines it would try to dial out- now it hijacks my broadband satellite connection. I have:
Windows XP on a dell pc, intel pentium 2.52 ghz
MSIE
ad-aware
spybot
Norton personal firewall
Norton anti-virus
cwshredder
hijack-this
Everything is current and nothing has worked-including trying to find these files on my computer and delete them! Help!
thanks in advance!

some info here:

looks like you need to download a "cloaking" program for ad-aware.

since i haven't used this cloaking program myself, i can't voutch for its effectiveness or anything else....

Doing a further google search of "acculoader"

This looks like it might be your problem

Specifically it mentions something called wintime.exe in the \windows\system32 directory, but it might also have more info about what you got.

other links that may also be of interest (related
and/or recommending the same thing)

This page mentions that this is a new hijacker with no current fix but has some useful links

good luck getting rid of this
