I'm not, Check your pop blocker setting as it may have defaulted back to it's original setting.

Sorry, it's the only thing I could think of.

Maybe your computer got it on with another computer while you were gone and caught the Cialis Virus!

Seriously, in addition to your malware or virus protection program or you could also try running your Microsoft Windows Update if you're using MSIE. Monthly, it includes a Malicious Software Removal Tool.

ABOUT: Windows Malicious Software Removal Tool x64

After the download, this tool runs one time to check your computer for infection by specific, prevalent malicious software (including Blaster, Sasser, and Mydoom) and helps remove any infection that is found. If an infection is found, the tool will display a status report the next time that you start your computer. A new version of the tool will be offered every month. If you want to manually run the tool on your computer, you can download a copy from the Microsoft Download Center, or you can run an online version from microsoft.com. This tool is not a replacement for an antivirus product. To help protect your computer, you should use an antivirus product.
