Sounds like a virus.  Consider purchasing, installing, updating and doing a full system scan with a good anti-virus program.

DocHi pcdoc4christ I already scanned it with Zone Alarm Security Suite.. and it reports nothing.. 0 infections found.. should i download NOD32 and try that one.. and disable Zone Alarm..?Don't disable ZoneAlarm. Try to check your computer with alternative programs, like Avast!, AVG (these 2 are antiviruses, with free versions to use at home), Spybot Search&Destroy, Lavasoft Adaware (antispyware programs with free versions to use at home). Call us back after you recheck the computer. Quote

Zone Labs makes a good firewall, but i'm not so sure about their anti-virus software (if it is anti-virus software).  Keep in mind that anti-spyware and anti-virus software are not the same animal.  In addition, even the best anti-virus program can miss a virus, so it is a good practice to try other methods:

I'd suggest doing the following:

1. Try a few of the free online virus scans:

2. Download and run the free AVG anti-virus program:

3. Consider trying a trial version of Symantec's Norton AntiVirus program:

(Unlike AVG, you will have to pay to continue to use it after the first two weeks.)
