sleep.exe

[Tracy Lynn]

I'm using Windows XP. When online and using IE 6, I'm
getting a windows popup titled "sleep.exe" then my
Explorer windows close except for some site it goes to
about Media Tickets. All I can find is this has something
to do with Windows Tours but don't know how to stop it
from doing this. I've checked for viruses and there are
none. Please help!
