Run your spyware removal programs on a daily basis

i was running them daily, but when I just checked the microsoft thing, it says that my Realtime shit isn't active, and when I try to click activate nothing happens

I'm going to have to uninstall it and reinstall it, I bet.

Firefox doesn't run Active X.

Neither does AIM, Yahoo IM, ICQ, or Adobe Photoshop

EVERYTHING I click on to open on my desktop sends me a stupid ACTIVE X error/warning popup, and every website, REGARDLESS of the browser throws one at the top of the screen. Thats why I said it has to be some sort of spyware or hyjack, that I can't seem to find, cause its doing it on everything!!
