Hi All,

I am having comcast broadband internet connection at home(Gateway computer
with Windows XP OS.).

Of late I am seeing some strange behaviour on my computer, where every few
minutes a windows opens up (not a pop up ad) on the task bar.
When I click on it, it does not open up, nor can I restore or maximize it.
It does not have anything on its title bar. If I am not using the computer
for some time,
then there will be huge number of windows opened up like that. I feel this
is some kind of virus, if so what is it and what is the cure for that.
Can anyone let me know about that. A quick response is highly appreciated.

Thanks in advance.
 
If you can still access the internet try downloading adaware and spybot for starters. They are free and work quite well. Run your virus scan and be sure it is up to date. If you don't have a virus protection program get a free scan on line somewhere or purchase one. Make sure your xp program has all its updates. Especially the criticle one's. Turn on your xp firewall or purchase a better one. I would recommend the firewall be in place running before you go for xp updates. The internet can be a wonderful or dangerous place. The things I have mentioned I feel are crucial to a safer time on line. And there are other free programs as well that can help keep intruders / pest out. Nick
