There is one more thing you should consider, 'remote access', where someone has acquired access and control over your computer.....it happened to my hubby, between firewall setups. He went to a site that had all these pops and one of them we don't know which, when he clicked to close it, it downloaded something onto his computer. It would run stuff in the background we couldn't trace, shut down and start up on it's own, etc. I can't remember the site he went to, to solve the problem, but it's a b*tch to get rid of.....but that's only a possibility if you don't have a firewall, or other form of blocking unwanted hacking...
