Go get a spam blocker or firewall blocker and install it on the computer you are having probs with such as Zone Alarm it has a free version then get your virus prog updated .

And as mentioned in the 25 dollar computer section go get spybot search and destroy. It's free and it works. you have spyware my friend. You need a spyware scanner to go along with your Anti-Virus. Nobs is correct also.... A firewall will help keep some of this stuff at bay, and you HAVE to keep your PC-illan up to date. Right click on it and choose to update it. (down by the clock)
