I don't know if this is related, but last night when I first went to FreeRepublic the browser window opened up all grey and music (prince-little red corvette) started playing through my speakers. It was really weird. I also had a bunch of popups. As soon as I killed the popups I ctr-alt-del'd and had no problems after I got back online and went back to FR. In the instant before the screen went black on the reboot I noticed a little JAVA icon in my sys tray. I thought my computer had a brainfart, but I couldn't figure out why it playing a song that is not on my hard drive. Was I 'hit' or what?

You might have spyware on your pc. Download AdAware from Lavasoft and scan your drive.

Do you remember what song it played? A friend was telling me the same story today, along with her dial-up modem going berserk, and I thought she had lost it...

What you described sounds exactly like an experience my husband had yesterday. It turned out to be a GMC pop up ad asking him to vote on his favorite song ("Little Red Corvette" was playing). He emailed them a big "NO" vote on the ad, and let them know that, as a very satisified GMC owner, if the ad continued he would seriously reconsider buying a GMC the next time he's in the market for a vehicle.
