Wow. What's the last thing that you did on your computer? What programs have you run lately? Do you have a firewall? Do you run regular virus checks?

I don't know what would cause it specifically, but easy guesses are Spyware, Virus or a hacker. Just trying to rule out the first things that come to mind.

나는 몰라요

um as far as I can remember I ran a registry cleaning program to wipe out some of the unneeded keys, and scanned for virus to get rid of the PINFI virus, and I don't have a firewall. apparently it looks like I'm missing some keys in my registry.
