Hi,

Start you computer in Safe Mode

1. Restart the computer. After the Power On Self Test (POST), press the F8
key.
2. On the Windows Advanced Options menu, use the ARROW keys to select Safe
Mode, and then press ENTER.
3. When you are prompted to select the operating system to start, select
Microsoft Windows XP edition (where edition is the edition of Windows XP
that is installed), and then press ENTER.
4. On the To begin, click your user name screen, click Administrator.
5. Type the administrator password, and then press ENTER.
Note: In some cases, the Administrator password may be set to a blank
password. In this case, do not type a password before you press ENTER.
6. Click Yes to acknowledge that Windows is running in safe mode.
7. Click Start, and then click Control Panel (or point to Settings, and
then click Control Panel).
8. Double click on Internet Options
9. On the Internet properties dialog box, click on Advanced tab
10. Uncheck "Enable third-part browser extensions (requires restart). Then
click OK.
11. Reboot the system.

If the problem is solved this means that you have spyware/malware programs
running in your system.


Hope this helps ...... :)
