It's been less than 24 hours rocky. Also, it's a weekend when traffic
is somewhat lighter.

This type of behavior is often a problem with viruses/trojans/spyware o
other malware. Some free online virus scanners
'Trend Micro HouseCall - Free Online Virus and Spyware Scan - Tren
Micro USA' (http://housecall.antivirus.com)
'PC Pitstop AntiVirus Center
(http://www.pcpitstop.com/antivirus/default.asp)
'ActiveScan 2.0 - A second opinion on the security of your PC
(http://www.pandasoftware.com/actives..._principal.htm)
Also try these free programs to rid your system of spyware, trojans
and other malware
'Spybot - Search & Destroy 1.2 - Free software downloads and reviews
CNET Download.com
(http://download.com.com/3000-2144-10...ml?tag=lst-0-1

'Ad-Aware 2008 - Free software downloads and reviews - CNE

(http://download.com.com/3000-2094-10...ml?legacy=cnet
LavaSoft Ad-aware
I use BOTH of the above programs on my 3 Windows systems; what on
program misses, the other catches. Also make sure to download the mos
up-to-date data before you run the programs
Another very good freeware program for ridding yourself of spyware i
this
