In the past few days, I've been getting odd little messages when I open certain programs like msn messenger or hotmail.com. The messages only say "msn" "hotmail" or "login." I'm guessing they might have something to do with the new version of Bearshare that I downloaded and the Save adware that comes with it. The messages are more of an annoyance than anything. I just wrote a long email, and the "hotmail" message came up about 40 times... thanks for any assistance.

I ran Spybot, it picked up a bunch, deleted them. Ran Norton AV 2005, found nothing. When I use Msn messenger, a little window that just says "msn" comes up. Only thing I can do with the window is move it or close it or click its "OK" button. Similar windows come up when I go on the hotmail website. Any help is appreciated, or even a link to a website where lots of computer guru's congregate
Thanks
