Thank you for the response.
It seems to happen when FireFox is open, and with RoadRunner, that makes me on-line. Indeed, I'm rarely on the machine w/o a browser running.
I'm a paid / grandfathered iHub member, so I never see ad's here. I have tried Flash, 3rd party cookie, and popup blockers. I have my suspicions that all the crap people throw at me via the browser isn't being handled well by FireFox. OTOH, IE's been alive and well for me for 24 hours or so now.
As for Sony, my hatred of their products goes back a long time, AND I still got rootkitted from the first Velvet Revolver CD. That took a while to figure out, but I killed it.
So far, abstinence from FireFox is the only thing I've found that works.
The hunt continues.
