I would suspect malware is the cause. Work your way through the malware removal guide at the top of this forum where it says "Do you suspect a malware (Spyware, Virus, Trojan) infection? Please start here. " This enables folks to solve most problems on their own. If you still have trouble after that, post a hijack this log in the malware forum. :tazz:

Have you checked if your start bar isn't folded north, east, or west on your screen?
