My computer is acting a little strange…. My dial-up connection fails intermittently, and the appearance of windows & the taskbar seems to have reverted to Windows 95? I’m concerned there may be an infection of some kind. I have run scans with; Spybot, Avast anti-virus, Ewido ant-mailware, Lavasoft Adaware and MS Windows Defender – which identified a few tracking cookies, but didn’t fix the problems I described above.
