I noticed this yesterday and did a complete uninstall and I unplugged my modem and reset it also.

I intially thought my brother had tried to download something, so I cancelled the download and after a few seconds it popped back up there. I did it again and again, then I thought someone had control of my cpu. So I uninstalled everything that had LW on it and I also uninstalled Java, only to find out that they had a new one out any way. I haven't had a problem since. But I just re-installed it so, I let you all know if it happens again.

What could be the cause of this? Anyone???

Usually a virus......read here:

Checking your system using any of these programs (I reckon all of them) might be a good idea:
http://www.lavasoftusa.com/software/adaware/(free)

http://www.grisoft.com(good free AVG)

http://www.ewido.com(free trial which can still be used and updated after the period has ended -the best in my opinion)

http://www.ccleaner.com/download/(free)

Spybot - Search & Destroy (FREE)

If you can't get rid of it go here and get some free computer help:
