I can't exit/close programs.......?

Question

Everytime I get online, I cannot exit out of any programs or windows. I end up having to 'End task' with Windows task Manager just to exit and that closes everything so that I have to repeatedly go back online. I am experiencing the same problem with Outlook when I look at my email. This has been happening the past 3 days, and I don't understand why. Any clues to why or what I need to do about it?

Most likely you have a malware problem.  Restart in safe mode, and run all of the virus, spyware, and system matience tools (disk cleanup, defragment, scandisk, etc.) and see if that helps.  If you would like some recommended software you can try Avast for the antivirus from http://www.avast.com.  For the spyware you can try Windows Defender from http://www.microsoft.com, or Spybot from http://www.safer-networking.org, or Norton Anti-syware from http://toolbar.yahoo.com.

u probly hav a virus. or maybe u just have too much crap on ur hardrive. this happened to me once and it turned out being alot mor serious than i thought. download a program call ad-aware and scan your computer for virusses and cookies. u can also try going to control panel and going through add/delete programs and delete some things that u dont need that are taking up space. if u are planning on using adaware u should get nortin anti virus or mcafee security just in case something goes wrong. im sorry if im confusing u more but i tried. good luck.

you may have a virus that has gotten into the system. you might have to run a virus scan to see if it comes up with anything. i use avg and it keeps out most viruses and finds and deletes them if they are already on your computer.
