It could also be Ppyware or Adware.
Do you have anti virus software and adware/spyware removers?

I like Mcaffee, it doesn't like to get in your way when you are flying.

Not sure what the best is but I had some virus on my computer and the guy who fixed it installed 3 programs called:
Norton Anti Virus-to get rid of virus
Spybot search and destroy-for spyware
Lavasoft AD-Aware-for adware
This is what he installed on my computer to get it running faster and clean it up.
Mcafee is good to,I use to have it.

I agree with defrag. That really helps clear up the computers system.

here is what I recommend. run your anti-virus, antispyware, and then boot into safe mode and run them a second time. if it is clean then defrag if not run through the cycle again. i do this about once every couple of months. it is time consuming but it helps get rid of everything. some spyware and viruses can be detected/cleaned when running normally but others can only be taken care of when in safe mode. I know it will eat up an evening of computer time but well worth it.

I have used Norton products for over 5 years now and have never had a problem. The past 2 years I have used Norton 360 which I would HIGHLY recommend.
