"preparing the plugin"

[michael]

I have been having a great deal of problems with my pc
recently. It is running extremely slow despite the
specs. Also, two shortcuts reappear constantly on my
desktop no matter how many times I delete them. They
are "sexxx" and "xxx." Also, my pc randomly shuts down,
usually shortly after a message flashes on the screen
saying "preparing the plugin." I have run ad-aware and I
have run anti-virus software. My specs are windows xp,
p4, 2.4 ghz, 1 ghz RAM.
