    I am posting this in general/chat. If anyone can help, I'd appreciate it. I am running Windows XP on my desktop, all service packs okay. My icons and taskbar will disappear/reappear...usually I can get them back by opening task manager and "bringing to front" a program. The thing is running notoriously slow. My McAfee is finding some viruses and quarantining them, but it is driving me CRAZY. Also, for no reason, my web browsers (explorer AND Firefox) will suddenly open these "web sites" for "work at home" opportunities...I've never asked for these sites to open, they just do it on...
