Okay, so that aside, there's something severely wrong with my computer. Last night, I had it at Antoine's. I was spending my time surfing LiveJournal, looking for Wesley icons (because I am awesome). I think that other windows I had open included Microsoft Word, Gmail, and various Internet sites.
I started getting some pop-ups in Internet Explorer, which was odd since I was using Firefox. When I tried to do Ctrl Alt Delete, a window popped up, telling me that my Task Manager was unavailable. I've run some virus and spyware scans (I have avast! and SpyBot: Search and Destroy) and both of them found stuff (they always do; apparently I visit bad sites or something!), but my computer is still weird.
The background on my computer is the same shade of blue as my start bar. In yellow text, it reads:
Which leads me to believe that my Desktop background itself is infested! Clicking on "Click here" leads me to this page, and no, I haven't clicked the links to download their weird Spyware stuff.
In addition to Spyware crap, my Internet is being strange, too:
Websites that work:
LiveJournal
Anime Club forums
My Google Homepage
WiscMail
CNN
Netflix
Websites that don't work:
Trying to do an actual Google search (when I click "Search," the page just keeps loading until forever
Gmail (Again, the page loads until forever)
Blogger (It loads until forever)
Other people's blogs hosted on Blogspot
Hmmm. Now that I look at the list, I feel really stupid: maybe it's Google that's the problem, and not my computer? Is anyone else having weird problems with Google stuff?
In Conclusion: Please help me!
