Curse that sister of mine, I found myway.mywebsearch PUP adware/spyware on the computer. Tried killing the little pest and I got a message saying 'some problems can't be fixed. the reason could be that the associated files are still in use (in memory). This could be fixed after a restart. May Spybot S-D run on your next system startup?' I then twigged that my sister had installed the cruddy spyware/adware program(as well as Skype). Luckily, it isn't affecting me right now, however, my sister is going to get a good telling off from me!

Any help would be great.

PS: My sister has a password protected account. Damn her!
