oh this only happens on the admin account it doesn't happen on the guest account!

Answer 1

I think you have got a virus named xp antivirus 2009. Scan your pc with malwarebytes antimalware.(http://www.download.com/Malwarebytes-Ant...

Use a good antivirus. I recommened bitdefender. If you don't want to buy it, you can use the free version of it (http://www.filehippo.com/download_bitdef...

Answer 2

Try making a second admin account and see if it still happens.

Answer 3

Sounds like a virus, have you run any anti-virus yet? Have you uninstalled the msn update? do those things first and then if it is still happening or if your anti-virus can not get rid of the virus then re-install windows.
