sounds like you have a virus or something, try a format maybe.

yup

Don't bother with the geeksquad. They'll charge you a ton of money to tell you to upgrade your motherboard.

Just get a second hard drive (if you only have one) and back up your important data (music and movies) then format the OS drive.
