It's probably just my computer...it's pretty loopy anyways.
Check you're Windows Add/Remove programs list in the Control Panel and see if there is anything there that shouldn't be. A lot of these Adware/Spyware/Malware programs come back even after supposedly getting rid of them. It is because just one program goes and makes like five more. In the Add/Remove programs list, if you don't know what it is or the name doesn't sound familiar, it probably should not be there. But before you accidentally delete something important, ask us here about it. Also, it may not hurt to see what is running in your task list (press Ctrl, Alt, Del) and check them against this list here http://www.answersthatwork.com/Taskl...s/tasklist.htm Be careful to look at spelling and capitalization, you wouldn't want to accidently get rid of something that is crucial to your OS.
