What have you done lately that could possibly explain this? Did you install new software? Uninstalled software? Removed malware? Used a registry cleaner?

Hi thanks for responding i haven't done any of those things or downloaded anything either which is why i am confused, my daughters played on internet games which is all i can think of. My toolbar was also corrupted although that seems to have gone away any ideas on what i can do?
