This just started last night. WHen I clicked to get into my gmail -- there were repeated attempts, one right after another trying to get in. FInally GMail closed my access and among the list of possible causes was exactly what I am describing. It said to try delete temp files and cookies, whihc is exactly what I did. To no avail.
I have NOD32 and Spybot search & destroy on my computer. I now keep getting security messages from windows that my NOD32 may be out of date -- yet when I click to update it -- NOD32 says I am up to date.
I have run a scan by NOD32 and it comes up with a huge long list (like maybe 100) of items under the spybot search and destroy folder whose names sound like games (I am not a gamer -- I have never even ever played one) and at the end of the string it says "password protected."
This is completely out of my realm of knowledge (not that that is a very large realm.) If I were going to guess -- and this is a completely uneducated guess -- it feels like those "game" sounding items have some how been downloaded onto my computer and have managed to block any program's effort to get rid of them by putting on a "password" protection.
Does anybody have any idea what I am talking about? This just happened while I was in the middle of surfing. I wasn't going to weird websites. In fact, I was just going to medical web sites searching out info for a friend -- like the Mayo clinic, NIH, etc.
