Answer 2

Could be a virus. I would run your anti virus program. I use AVG free - best one you can have and it is FREE. It has found lots of nasties in my computer. Another good FREE program is SpyBot Search and Destroy. This finds all kinds of junk and spyware in my computer. I use both. AVG Free is set to run everyday at 8:00 a.m., and spybot I run four times a week, especially if I have been on the internet for a long period of time. If you have something in your computer that shouldn't be there, this should find it. Good luck.

Answer 3

use
Kaspersky Anti-Virus 6.0
scan pc in safe mode

lets get that out of ur pc ur some antivirus will miss key keylogger and trojans . frist of all you need to download avg antispyware this is verry good in getting all kinda bad files . then you need to download Adaware
a-squared< is verry good in picking up traking software files that is on the pc and it will find them . then download antispyware blocker that will find any type of virus . trojans files with antispyware blocker when you run that at the top of the box ur see
C:\ WINDOWS
remove the word windows and just leave in

C:\

then hit scan it will search all of the pc every file for virus or trojans and this will not have any problem with ur antivirus you have i have this my self .

then download spyware doctor that will search the pc for even more spyware adaware . just having 1 or 2 antispyware dont cut any ice at all you neeed what i said to download . when you have them run ur pc in safemode and scan the pc with then 1 at a time . this way from safemode the trojan and keylogger cant hide them self coz there is not internet access on in safe mode all the software i said to download will get the trojans and keylogger

if they say some are in the registry you watch what path there in and get in the registry and right hit on that folder and hit remove dont worry when the pc restart up win xp will creat a new clean folder for you

Dear tronnic_hobbist, try download any of the following items and scan if there's any infections in your PC. Alternatively, you can use the free, full service scan at Windows Live OneCare. It's an online free version at http://safety.live.com. Not only it scans for infections, but also scans for performance, invalid registries, fragmented files etc. If you have the patience and you want full performance for your PC, I prefer you use Windows Live OneCare safety scanner. The infections scan is almost as great as the following items below. The total duration for the scan at http://safety.live.com can take about up to 7 hours.

Answer 6

Yeah could be.. But I think it is a Windows Error... You can try AVG or Avast virus scanners. Wouldn't hurt to try a couple spyware scanners like Spybot Search & Destory or Adaware

Answer 7

run an anti virus program,you could try avg for free
