Why do you think it's downloading? You need to have an
up to date antivirus program and a firewall ASAP if you
don't already have them. An online virus scan is here:
Housecall Online Virus Scan

but an online scan is not a substitute for an antivirus
program installed on your computer.
You could scan for other objects on your computer with Ad-
aware. Download Ad-aware (free version) from
http://majorgeeks.com/download.php?det=506
It detects and safely removes dataminers, tracking
cookies, dialers, BHO's and other objects from your
computer. This link will help you configure AAW for your
first scan:

It's very important that you update your ref files before
each scan because they are updated frequently. Click on
the globe or "Check For Updates Now".
