Ditto!
Hi
I assume you have antivirus software??
Also a software firewall like Zonealarm is also useful.
Try installing the following free antispyware programmes if you do not have any on yur computer:
Spybot
Adaware
Spywareblaster
Winpatrol
Update them and then scan your hard disk with the first two.Any spyware detected should be deleted immediately!
The last two programmes function more as preventative measure against spyware.
Also try to use Mozilla Firefox or Opera web browsers as Internet Explorer is full of holes and should be only used if the aforementioned web browsers have incompatibility problems with websites.
Also try installing CCleaner as this will delete any unwanted files from your system too. You can also use it to clean any old settings and to prevent programmes from starting up with Windows too!0
