    Tara,

    Do you have a virus scan program? Do you have a spyware scanning program? Do you have a Malware scanning program. I know theses sound like the same thing but they are different. If you have a virus protection program does it have updated dat files? There are free programs that you can download from www.download.com. I like AVG for the virus program, Spybot Search and Destroy for the spyware program and Malwarebytes Anti-Malware for the malware scanner. If you have any further questions please go to Http://www.ebrmilwaukee.com/customer60/onestepticket.asp and I will see give you a free quote on fixing the problem.
