Doesn't sound right to me... sounds like you have a problem, possibly some malware ?

Install/run Mbam and see what that finds..

Also have a look for any "Rogue" programs you may have installed (Control panel > all programs) check for any new additions that you don't recognise..

Right so click on start (windows key) top right is an icon like a magnifying glass, click on that, then type "Snipping tool"

Do this when the pop up asking for your login details appears..then click on "New" drag the on screen cursor around the outside of the box that asks you to register your passwords, save.

Then attach it to a post...

Click on "Full editor" at the bottom of the reply box, select browse, a box will open with pics from your computer in it, select the snip you have taken, click "Open" then "Add the file" then post as normal...
