I would try first clearing your cache in IE and firefox, then try firefox in it's safe mode, go to start, all programs, mozilla firefox> safemode. That will run it with out any of the add ons or extras to see if something there is interfering. You can choose to run IE with out add ons also. Then just to rule out malware I would do a malwarebytes scan, update it and then run FULL scan. How to download and install Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware application for Windows computers You should keep this as part of your protection and update and run it weekly it is a much better program than ad-aware and is one more layer and it is free. I would also run an online scan FREE Online Virus Scan

Mikie's suggestion is a good one. Go ahead and download one of the free firewalls recommended, but hold off on installing. I'm assuming you download to a special folder or to your desktop. When you are ready to install ZA or Comodo, go to Control Panel and open Security Center. Scroll down to "Manage Security Settings. . ." and click on Windows Firewall. There you can turn it off (not recommended by MS). Then install the other firewall that you downloaded. Once you do that, then the Security Center will show that you have a firewall enabled.

Oh. Mah. Gawd. You guys are freaks -- freaks, I tell you! And I love you all the more because you're so freeeeaky! There is some amazingly awesome stuff in this thread. Makes me want to add even more bizarre stuff to my house, because, really, who wants to live without humor and whimsy and ... freakishness in their lives? ;-D Well, I'm the only person I know of whose house is Tudor cottage in the outside, Little Mexico on the inside. What's odd is that I recently learned from the woman who grew up in the house in the 40's that her mother was fluent in Spanish and had a love affair going on with the Latino culture. I had sent this woman some current house pix, and she said her mother would have loved it. Here are a few of my oddities: This hideous little truck - how I love it! It's moved from my kitchen to my living room mantle. My nephew came over one day and played with it, and ended up gouging the wooden bun feet of my sofa with it. ::sigh:: I have a Tatouage chicken on my hallway wall: There's a rusting rooster guarding my side entry: And a scary troll dude sitting on my front porch.

We recently watched this. It has Christopher Reeve in it. Morning Glory An ex-convict who is on parole is accused of murdering a loose woman in the town where he works. This TV movie was charming. An old and oft-seen story, prone to cliché, it could easily have been embarrassing. However, Riffen and Reeves pull it off. One reviewer found Riffen far too old. I would never have guessed she was 40 when she made this film. It is to her credit as an actress that she played a 23-24 year old amazingly well. I also think it is about the best thing Reeves ever did. The story could have been stronger, and I agree the screen play could have used "tightening." Nonetheless, it is well worth watching; clearly not a powerful love story, but rather, a charming romance which will leave you satisfied that love is a strong emotion and good overcomes evil. And it is nice to see a "love story" without the obligatory f#$% word, the naked buttocks, or hours of spit-swapping kissing. Here is a link that might be useful: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0107604/
