computer people: does "cxtpls" mean anything to you??
it shows up in the list of things running when I hit ctl-alt-del, however, it constantly shows up as "not responding" and I think it's responisble for my internet pages freezing and actually closing on their own. help!!!

5. It's spyware.
Follow these instructions to get rid of it:

And stop using MS Internet Explorer. Download Firefox. Internet Explorer is why you're getting all of that junk on your computer.
