This should not be happening at all and I can only think that it may be due to malware activity. Do you have any anti-virus software installed? Are you using Windows Firewall at the very least? It is rather unwise to use the Administrator account for regular everyday use and it is a good idea to set up another two user accounts for yourself - one non-privileged account for use when going on the internet, reading email, instant messaging etc and other everyday uses, plus one other for privileged access needed to install new software etc. That is a very much safer way of using the PC and will actively help prevent malware infection. Going "surfing" while logged in as Adminstrator is asking for trouble! If you do not currently have any anti-virus/anti-malware software installed, post back here for further advice. Cheers. Spexx.
