Default Spyware

Dear Xylia

It sound like someone or thing has planted spyware or virus in your PC, this can be done by a hacker, malware hidden in something you downloaded, a secret installation (initiated by a web page you visited) or a bot/worm (an automatic program that roams the internet looking for vulnerable PCs to infect).

The best thing you can do now is use anti-spyware software, like Adaware SE and/or Spybot, to clean your PC followed by running your anti-virus software.

Once your machine is clean and to stop yourself being infected in future you should use a firewall, like ZoneAlarm (free) or Norton Personal Firewall.
