This would be best in Technology. You may have downloaded a virus. Do you have virus scan?

Basically, when IE or FF tells you that you're installing an ActiveX thing from a site that supposidly gives you free music/movies/programs, you just got yourself a virus/mighty spyware.
I suggest you use the WindowsXP System Restore program and restore your computer to before you did this. Hope this helps. |

Well first I'd disable ActiveX (Internet Explorer > Tools > Internet Options I think). Then, I would scan for viruses and spyware. What exactly is your computer doing that's making it act wierd?
