Why does my computer keep freezing up. I can only end task and start over to get going again.
Also a few nights ago I logged off the internet (cable) and my computer logged its self back on and stuff was popping up like someone else was controling it. Hopefully this is not related to the id theft I am currently dealing with. |

Have you checked for spyware, adware, viruses and all that fun stuff?

Years ago mine did the same thing and the computer guy at our work told me to download the free adaware program. I've used it since.
It cleaned my computer right up and I still use it. You can get it at several sites and it's a tried and true program. Let us know how it goes, OK? KD
