Sounds like you may have multiple problems. Not knowing what you did yet
make sure you do a full virus scan using a program that has the latest
updates and then scan for parasites with a program like AdAware. Also read
the last link below on how to prtect your computer while using the internet
that basically says use a firewall, antivirus that also scans all emails,
and keep current with critical updates at Windows Updates. --- Steve
