Its probably some form of malware.  That happens to me know and again not enough to be a pain but you get the idea.  I would clean out the cookies too.  I would use crapcleaner or Ccleaner.

alright i'll get back with you when i have the log from Spybot, and you said it was malware so i'll run Ad-Aware once i get home and i'll get you the log from that too.

What other protection apps do you have ? ?
Spybot and Adaware are good for what they do but not much use against virii or trojans...

Your running a protection program that's over 4 years old and has not been updated...
The Author's web page doesn't even load.
Good alternatives were suggested to you in the other thread...what you do with them is up to you.
