Hey guys last night I was online, and happen to look down at the task bar.  On the far right side where the task manager is it had a icon I have never seen, I couldn't close it either.  Well I didnt really think anything of it, until I noticed that it had a percentage of a download done.  At 78% I signed-off line.  Soon after about 25-30 spyware pop up windows appeared, and the computer shut its self down. 
Today when I signed online I could only view posts from yesterday.  A error screen came up, and said "You may only view/work online, would you like to continue to work offline?"  Then it had an option to connect or not???     
What the hell?  Please help? 
I am computer stupid, so if you need more details let me know. 
thanks in advance, 
Tom
