    Thank you so much Dan for telling me what to do but I think I have at least temporarily gotten rid of whatever it was. I saw on the DAL website about SpyTerminater & I downloaded it and let it do a through scan & so far I haven't had the problem again. IF it comes back I am going to follow your instructions. Thanks again! Vicki

    In case you don't have any protection, I highly recommend you get some asap.

    www.Download.com has a great list of free and effective software tools to help protect your computer.

    AVG Anti-Virus would be a good one. And if i didnt have NOD32, id probably try out this ClamWin AV.
