My computer has been kind of wierd lately, you know that page that you get when you go to a site thats not there the "this page cannot be displayed" blah blah stuff.
well i keep getting it and i don't have to do anything, ill just be sitting here reading replies in my email or reading a article and that page comes up. in a msn group that im in the page come up in my reply box, its just seems wierd for it to keep happening and no one else i know is having that problem.......ugh it just did while i was typing this message. Since no one else has complained of it, i was wondering is this some kind of virus maybe?
thanks in advance!

Jenny, it doesn't sound like a virus. In fact if you are using a respectable AV package, I'd relax.

Sounds more like a popup that is trying to load. I've found this to be very helpful (though not perfect) and it's free.

What Spyware tools are you using, if any?

Keep yourself protected. Make sure you have all the latest security updates from microsoft for your OS. Download, install, update and run all the latest spyware and virus detection and removal software available, most of it is free. Check for updates once a week for your spyware and virus removal tools.
