your PC acting odd?

[Glenn B]

Other than ragging on ya because you did not keep your Windows box updated..... Two methods below. At your own risk..

CTL+ALT+DEL ALT T and see if msblast.exe is running. If it is, kill it. Run the patches/Windows updates posted elsewhere in this forum, then reboot. Should be fine.
