You probably have Spyware; but also scan for viruses.
If you don't have an anti-virus, use the one below. Use the other Programs to 1. remove spyware, and 2. stop it installing http://www.avast.com/eng/download-avast-home.html Above is a link to Avast Free 4 Home Anti-Virus It is low resource using, free and Vista 32bit and 64bit compatible. http://www.safer-networking.org/en/index.html For Spyware removal, use the above link to “Spybot Search & Destroy 1.5.2” Download it, install it, update it, immunize your system and scan your System with it. http://www.javacoolsoftware.com/ For a non-scanning, but running the background, Program to STOP Spyware being downloaded to your Computer, use SpywareBlaster 4, available at the above link. -- Mick Murphy - Qld - Australia "helpinfo22" wrote: I tried downloading ps trials on the web yesterday.
