I have a problem w/ my computer where my desktop isn't
accessible. When I go to c:\documents &
settings\owner\desktop, it tells me that it isn't
accessible and that access is denied. Another weird thing
is when I check my computer properties (right clicking on
my computer) the computer name is "your-us67pi6luv". I
know this is not normal. Anyone has an idea of what it
might be?
Thanks
 
You can get free, online virus checks at www,antivirus.com, Symantec,
etc.

Tony,

Do you have up to date virus protection? If not, here are some online
virus scans:
http://security.symantec.com/ssc/

A general health check might be a good idea.

Also, maybe check for malware. Adware and spyware can do strange
things to your system. Get help for that at SWI Forums. Start with
this article:
