are you on a desktop or laptop?

sounds to me like a bad keyboard... is it every where or only on websites?

It means youre going to hit the lottery big tonight!:blah:

I dont think its a virus Tina, sounds like a keyboard prob or your name got typed in wrong and windows is remembering it.. You will have to clear your name/ passwords in windows autocomplete and start over.

its a virus

Do you use any type of filesharing program (Limewire, etc.)?

Im not sure where all its happeneing YET... But , I DO KNOW its ALWAYS HERE! I always type in my password, then log out each time I leave. I even checked to make sure it wasnt me(we all know how I type! :o :p ) and it happens when I tpye in my password, it makes the ! in my user name .... does that makes any sense?? :confused:

one of the best popup blockers are built into the google toolbar. i do sugest you run microsoft antispyware. it will help with a lot of pop ups. as for virus protection.. one of the best out there is AVG keep it updasted and you will never have an issue.

antispyware (http://www.microsoft.com) AVG (http://www.free.grisoft.com)
google toolbar (http://toolbar.google.com)

and as for QJ's problem... if you have a new keyboard change it out and see if it helps. other then that. you need to just try to type it into a word doc that way we can detrmine if it is only on the site or all over the computer.

Well. Im most certain its my Keyboard, I havent had time to plug in my other one but it didnt do it while typing a Doc. It does still do it here an othe places I also notice my "1" key pops up sometimes as well so I think its just the keyboard. Ill let ya know if it fixed the problem ;)

I spilled a little bit of beer on the keyboard of my laptop one time... keys got all screwy for about a day... then it kinda went away :confused: ... maybe you dropped a little something and didn't notice...
