> I'm having trouble with my Windows Media Player and was hoping I could
find some help... yesterday my Windows Media Player was working fine, but
today every time that I try to open it, it won't open at all and, in
addition, every time i click on the icon it tries to install spyware on my
computer. What do you think this means?
