sounds like either a virus or a bad infestation of something else has gotten ahold of your laptop. try downloading avg 7.5 free and run a full system scan once u update it. avg is one of the best anti-virus programs out there, and its free. it should be able to catch anything on ur comp... now as far as spyware, adware, malware...ect. download AdAware personal edition and do the same... after all of that... try ur officescan, and see if its better. good luck!
