WTHeck is up with my PC!? Ever had a similare experience?
 

So for the last few days my computer has been running slow, randomly freezing & even making extra "working" noises upon start up.
Today my yahoo toolbar was completely rearranged & had buttons on it I deleted a long time ago. I went to my anti-virus & checked that the automated scans were being done & they were and everything came back fine. I did this PC clean up that finds/deletes a lot of stuff like malware, etc. that can slow it down. It said everything was fine.

So I go into a file of pics earlier & it has 14 sub folders when it should have none. I just look at the thumbnails & some pics in these folders are of my friends & non-friends fb profile pics, our last governor:confused: that I didn't highly admire:p, pics of babies, dogs, myspace type comments...:confused:. I have a file shredder & am individually shredding them all 35 times each. They seem to be disappearing but I don't know if they're 'smart enough' to just move somewhere else.

Why isn't anything identifying this as a problem? I thought maybe it was something copying the places I've visited but I've never seen most of these pics.

Sooo frustrating that little losers have nothing better to do with their time then make trouble for others.:thumbdown

Guess I was just venting. Thanks for listening.:p
ETA: I do not go to any risky sites from what I know. Mostly stores or fact finding missions...and whatever I can possible read about the Tudors. :P

Those sneaky little B-tards will do anything to cause others grief while sitting back and laughing the whole time.

Skammers, trogan horses, worms and all sorts of things could be going on that your simple virus protection will not pick up or solve. Nothing is 100%, Looks like its time for a computer wiz to take a good look.

I take mine in every 6 months to be cleaned and looked over.

Keep up on your cookies (delete). That will help when sluggish.

Ahhh... the PC days. Haven't experienced those issues since switching to Mac three years ago, lol. Sorry; no real advice, other than I feel your pain, as I had many scream fests with my computer.
