Reading your post a couple of things come to mind. I presume you are using
IE 6.0 as you web brower. If so, you can go to Tools on the task bar.
Click on Internet Options and then on Content. Enable Content selecting the
desired level. Second, you are running some type of virus protection, i.e.
Norton, McAfee, AVG? Third, do you have a firewall up, i.e. ZoneAlarm,
Norton, Black Ice, etc.? Fourth, get some type of Spam protection software.
I run Spamfighter which is working pretty well. Finally, posting to user
groups like this allow Spammers to gather up your e-mail address. If you
are not using a fake e-mail address, then I would recommend one. I would
also recommend downloading Adware to look for spyware software on your PC.
