I just finished a full scan of the system from my yahoo toolbar(as sugessted by one of those who answered),and nothing was detected no virus,etc.
As for the rest of the recommended scanware I'll have to check them out later.

Sounds like a virus dude, do a full system scan and if the problem still comes back do a full restore of your OS(windows)

One of your programs has malfunctioned because of a virus. "Switch To" is showing up because one of your programs isn't working right and it needs to switch to something else in order for a part of the system to work right. Try downloading yahoo toolbar and run the Anti-Spy feature. If you had a virus it would spot it right away, and it shows you how many spyware programs have been added to your computer, which you can delete

Umm, the best way to get rid of this problem is to do a clean sweep....wipe the hard drive completely, reformat, and start fresh. If you can, get it to a point where you can save all your neccessary files first, back them up and put them in a safe spot. If, by this time you decide to do it, you can use an antivirus program and SCAN those files to make sure they arent infected. If not infected, youre good to go.

A virus. You can download from www.bitdefender.com the latest version bitdefender. Install it an scan the hole system and if bitdefender IS 10 doesn't recognize the virus you should format the PC and install the windows again.

i used to b a computer tech
to me, it sounds like it could be over heating
if it has been in to get serviced 3 times and still comes back with the problem. I'd b looking a where uve got the computer placed. Has it got enough ventilation
if your computer has got enough ventilation, next thing i'd look at would be RAM. this can cause all sorts of errors.
goodluck fella

Probably a virus. Use a virus scanner to remove it. You shall use the free AVG Antivirus s/w, if you don;t have one.

its a virus no doubt, i think more of a worm kind, use Norton or McAfee to get rid of it
