Tech Tip: Click here to run a free scan for Windows Errors and optimize PC performance

I had similar troubles in my PC, but it is clean now and acting OK.
Download these programs and execute them to cleanup your PC.

Following programs will keep your PC Secure -----

1) AVG AntiVirus for your home PC virus protection. You
can run AVG along with Norton or other AntiVirus programs.

2) Microsoft AntiSpyware Beta - very good program to keep your PC clean.

3) Zone Alarm - try the 'home version' for your home use.
If you are using DSL or Cable, Zone Alarm blocks all entries and exits
to and from your PC, to the Internet.

Run these programs at least once a week to remove remaining spywares ---

1) Ad-Aware program

2) Spybot program

If you are still having problem, run the security analyzer to keep the entry
doors closed.

1) Microsoft Baseline Security Analyzer

Update all of these programs at least once a month to keep your PC clean.
