I think the "88" is actually a sign of something trying to take you to a
popular gambling site (or something perhaps that pupports to be it)
which is called 888.com. You definitely have some of malware, I have
heard of this before and a sweep with anti-virus may help however it
would suggest the machine security may already be compromised.

Subject: [jaws-uk] Very strange problem
Okay, this is not JAWS related but I hope it is all right to post as I
can't find an answer/solution and it's really starting to annoy me. This
problem came straight out of the blue, happens at any random time and I
don't know what is causing it or how to stop it. Or even if it's doing
any harm to my computer. I will try to explain it as best I can and if
anyone can help me then perhaps they could Email me off list?
I am on Broadband so the Internet is always active even when I am not
online. I am working away when all of a sudden I hear those clicking
sounds you get when a Website is loading. There are a few clicks and I
can hear the PC noises like when something is running. If I do Alt Tab
in time I come upon a window which says something and then Internet
Explorer. One of the most common ones is "88 Internet Explorer", but
there are others with names which make no sense. If I do Alt F4 the
window closes down. If I don't get it in time or I miss it then
something starts to play. It is like a radio station or one of those
daft home movies like people put on uTube. I've never been on uTube, but
I imagine that's the sort of rubbish people load there. The only way of
stopping what's playing is to shut down the computer as no window is
active to be closed once it starts.
Yes, I know it's weird, can anyone help?
