I don't know what the problem is, but for some reason everything on my computer seems to be running slowly when I start AOL. I think I may have some kind of virus or something.

I notice that if I hit Alt,Ctrl and Delete and the open programs list comes
up - I have something called "Webrebates0" and "Webrebates1" running -
but I have no idea what that is, as it wasn't ever there before.

Also,when I open internet explorer, there is a begin2search.com bar going across it. That was also never there before. I don't know what the deal with any of these things are, but any help would be much appreciated. :y:

Also, my buddy list will not display, and now on my desktop there is an internet shortcut to a program called "Party Poker" - which I never had before and did not download.

Spyware. Run Ad-Aware SE and get rid of everything. Also, you can run some virus scans online for free to see what comes up. The search and poker program are spyware though. Probably downloaded something you shouldn't have and got those with it. Run virus scan and spyware scan and you should be ok.
