Hi John,
I don't know how I gave you that impression, but I'm not real worried about 
that. I'm running a good, constantly updated antivirus program, and two 
different anti-spyware programs, as well. I'm not real agitated about the 
occasional bubbles I don't figure out in time. I'm sorry if I sounded more 
distressed than I actually am. Thanks for your concern, though.

That sounds like you have a virus or some spyware.
Good luck!
