Does this happen when you connect to the Internet (or are
otherwise online)?
You probably have the latest worm virus. If you are
using XP you can do to follow:
Restart your computer, Do Not Connect to Internet. Go to
control panel, click on network and Internet connections,
then, click on to network connections. You should see a
choice of Internet connections (modems) right click on to
your morning (the one you currently used to connect to
the Internet) scroll down to properties, then click
advanced, then enable the Internet connection firewall.
This will allow you to connect to the Internet and have
an uninterrupted session.
Now connect to the Internet and download the following
patch:
