What operating system? Iif it's Windows, upgrade everything, run Ad-aware and Spybot S&D, run an antivirus program, and restart the computer. THe upgrade part is the major thing here, but you never know which of the Sacred Rituals of Cleansing might solve your problem.

maybe it's the files themselves. Link to one of the ones that's causing trouble and I'll see what it does to my comp.

In my internet security class I'm taking for my graduate degree, a security consultant said that jpegs are being infected with viuses. I hope that isn't the case with you, and wha Sketerpot suggested is the way to go.
