I went to VGDC(Video Game Director's Cuts) and I kept getting advertisemnt pop-ups for Zango. I kept telling the advertisements "no" and "I am sure I don't wanna install" and then I left. I noticed that a certain time later that my computer is making a clock ticking noise. Can this be spyware? Or Zango's way of bothering me after not wanting to install their products? And also the Java icon is in my tray for some strange reason and I'm not using it. Can someone help me?
Oh and I looked in Windows Task Manager and it said that smss.exe is using up 0 k of memory.. Is that normal? smss.exe 0 k
