    When was the last time you checked for viruses? It sounds like your computer may be infected, big time.

    Sorry to say, but what I would do is back up all important stuff, and wipe the drive. Once you are infected with some of the newer trojans/spyware, some things are never the same. Typically, once one of my machines is compromised, it gets wiped and re-imaged.

    Good luck.

    Very important before you wipe the drive. Make sure you have all the drivers for your vid card/network card, etc BEFORE you wipe the drive. With no drivers for the network card, you cant get online to download drivers. Just burn a CD with all the stuff you need to get most things functional. The most important being network. The rest you can d/l after the re-install. I prefer to have video as well, cause I cant stand 640X480.

    Good luck with it all.
