I'm afraid that your particular problem is probably virus related. I'm willing to bet that one of your download MP3s contained a virus/trojan. If you do not have anti-virus software installed, you should install one...particularly if you are using peer2peer networks. However, in the meantime, you can go here and use the free online Virus Scanner at TrendMicro: http://housecall.trendmicro.com/ And if you haven't downloaded and installed it...I strongly recommend that you get "Spybot-Search & Destroy". It's freeware and an excellent program to detecting/removing "autodialers" and spyware from your system. And it is built-in updater, so that keeping it updated it easy.
