I dont have any spyware going on... I regularly run a scan, and I defrag my hard drive once a week //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif

What addons are you running?

Edit: but are you using o&o to defrag? //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gifhttp://www.oo-software.com/home/en/products/oodefrag/
