HP Pavilion C: Drive window pops up

imachevygirl · 11-12-2006, 08:51 AM

About every 5 minutes this window pops up on me and I have no idea why. I haven't noticed that it's when a particular thing is happening like a screen saver coming on or something like that. It's just random. Any ideas on this?

Thanks,

Its the C: drive window that contains folders labeled 'my documents' 'my pictures' 'my music' 'program files' etc, etc.

Double click my computer on the desktop. double click C: drive. you get the window containing the folders I described above.

Have you looked over the Look over the First Steps at Removing Malware ?

Open the System configuration Utility and tell me what is in the System startup tab
