Computer acting wierd!!!!

[Guest_imported]

This is happening right now. I constantly hear my computer making that crackling sound when like its loading something and that Sign-On window keeps on popping up like every 2 minutes. Is someone hacking my computer???? Running on Win98.

Download and run Ad-aware which is free and see if you have any spyware wanting to connect to the net.

I just been receiving e-mails and sounds like a virus: There is two that I just received. Could this be the problem?

Any executable attachment such as .exe or .pif files should be treated with extreme caution, particularly .pif which is the extension for a DOS shortcut. There would be no legitimate reason to send you such a file as an email attachment. When they come from an unknown person they are almost certainly malicious, virus or trojan nearly for sure. All things are possible except skiing through a revolving door.
