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

Excellent advice.  I read about AdAlarm in this week's
Time magazine and loaded it up for a scan.  I had some
crap in my registry of unknown function plus a lot of
temp porn files.  The porn files, I could care less.
The registry entry had to do with 'Alexsa' and may
have been a dialup.  It's outta there now.

AdAlarm is free and available through
http://www.lavasoftusa.com.

I had 54 suspicicous items, about half of them stupid things from the Osama game and other 'twisted humor' junk I had played. The other half could not be identified from the file names, could have been ANYTHING. I Wiped them ALL. Thanks, I never would have known all that crap was in there.
