I can't remember exactly, but I believe I saw this situation when infected with a variant of the Blaster virus. Scan your system with your AV software after making sure the signature files have been updated. Also, check in Safe Mode and see if the same problem occurs there.

ohh god plz dont, i formated like 4 days ago. im using this avast free thing. is that a good one or what?

[redduc900]

I'm not familiar with avast...I use the free version of AVG 6.0, which you can get from MajorGeeks here:

http://www.majorgeeks.com/download886.html

...and never had a virus that it couldn't find and repair. The updates are also free, and available on a regular basis either from MajorGeeks or Grisoft.

mine does it by itself. so ur saying its a virus?

[redduc900]

mine does it by itself

AVG also has the capability of updating itself...I was just suggesting that you have the option of downloading the newest version of 6.0 in it's entirety, which is available from either of the two sites I mentioned.

so ur saying its a virus?

I was suggesting the possibility of a virus, and to scan your system in order to eliminate that possibility.

i scanned it and nothin was found ill try it with urs and see what happens. what if no virus is found what is causing it then??

[redduc900]

Are you running SP1 with all critical updates installed?
