I bought a new computer, because my old one was tearing up. I had been told the mother board would be going soon, so when it started going really slow, constantly showing "This page cannot be displayed" errors, playing videos very slowly & freezing, I figured it was getting worse, so I got a BRAND new Dell PC. Only to find this one doing the SAME THING! The only difference is now, my virus scanner (which I also had on the old computer) keeps popping up messages to me. The most frequent one says "Inbound Malware Probe MyDoom In"...the most recent says "Intrustion attempt detected TCP High ports in". All of them say that my firewall has blocked them. I've also noticed (in the 4 days or so since I've had this computer), I've gotten a LOT of spam mail to my main email (not a yahoo acct, or such). What could have happened to cause this and how can I stop it? Is it some sort of virus or spyware or adware? A virus scan shows no viruses. But something is going on. Please help!
