My friend, I shall tell you a secret...you have spyware.
the solution: adaware or spybot (go to download.com and type either
one of those two)
When you download it, and USE IT (or course, right?) then either make
sure "ad watch" is on *for adaware or "tea timer" *spybot
Also, do you have an antivirus program? if you do, then you should be
using it. If you don't....avast or avg, take your pick (get them at
download.com...i would take avast personally, but they're both free)
ALSO...do you have a firewall to help prevent some attacks? if you
don't, zonealarm is for you (you know where to get it)
I'm confident that would solve the problem. If it doesn't, then please
reply.
*Mod, I feel that most problems can be solved by using the BIG 3 -
Antivirus program, Firewall, and a form of spyware protection. I
suggest you put a small blurb about it on the homepage, to save some
time. I'm sure most people agree that if it was on the homepage, there
would be less questions about things like this.
Just an idea.
