There must be something a user is doing to install this stuff on the
computer. Are there any Internet games being downloaded and installed? Are
special "viewers" or "download managers" being installed? Are you
installing any special "desktop updaters" being installed for news, weather,
sports, or other purposes? Are you running any "swapping" applications like
Kazaa? Is anyone downloading illegal music, movies, or software?

Are you installing/re-installing applications from old eMachine media or
something else of that nature?

Otherwise, I would recommend switching to the Firefox browser. It's a
little slower, but it may not have the same problems, at least for awhile.
