    Go to Start, Control Panel and Security Center. Make sure your firewall and anti-virus are On and have a green light. If they all check out, it’s possible that it’s some ad-ware that’s been loaded on your computer.

    If you have some kind of spy-ware/ad-ware removal program on your computer, run it and get rid of all that crap. If you don’t download and install one. I use Ad-Aware and I recommend it. It’s has a basic version that’s free and works really well.
