It looks like some computer maintenance is in order here. Get rid of malware/spyware and viruses on your computer. Also shut down whatever junk you have running at startup, and defrag your hard drive.

I am glad that you two said something. I had refrained earlier about saying a Computers 101 class might be in order, which it is.

And, there is nothing wrong with that. Anyone, who has used a computer, for a long time, has gone through the 101 course.
