Can anyone tell me why my cursor constantly flashes the hourglass symbol like i am downloading when actually i am not doing anything. Its driving me nuts. Got any suggestions? I ran AVG and ad-aware and nothing came up.

Hi sha, and welcome to geeks to go! Sounds like you may have some unknown processes going on in there.

Let us take a closer look at what is running on your PC. We'll need you to use a free diagnostic tool (HiJackThis) and post a log back here with the results.

Click the HijackThis Guide here or in my signature, download it and follow the instructions in the guide.

Most of what it lists will be harmless or even essential, DO NOT delete or modify anything yet! Someone will be along to tell you what steps to take after you post the contents of the scan results.
