Thats just crappy internet explorer playing up Viruses are not rare these days at all. Not only that, but they can steal your identity, or ruin your computer. A lot more, too. That happens to me every once in a while. I'm very careful about viruses on my computer, so I wouldn't say you have a virus. You could always try going to the Microsoft homepage, and in the Downloads section you could re-install Internet Explorer. Just to be safe, you should scan your computer for viruses.

I have 107 viruses, but it still works fine - im getting them out soon. Anyway, its just cause your computer is crappy and has too much shit in it wich is messing everything up. Make sure you get them out quickly, some viruses take time to work, some of them eat your computer.

I just thought that the program hiccuped or something, as computers do sometimes, or so I thought. Justinc08 Posted at 6:21 pm on Aug. 20, 2006 Run a virus scan on your computer, it sounds like that might be what it is. Try calling your customer service for your internet provider. xxlifesucksxx Posted at 6:20 pm on Aug. 20, 2006 LOL mine does the same exact thing. I just dont press anything and put it in the corner and then it's all good =) All 9 previous replies displayed.
