I'm getting the same and I know the only change to my system was an update from Microsoft to fix Internet Explorer versions 6,7 and 8.
These things are frequently called "security updates for Windows XP" (or Vista) and are very commonly installed without you knowing about it. They usually do more good than harm and I'd suggest you don't change the settings on your computer.
However, if you want to remove this update, you'll need to open the Control Panel and seek out the 'Add or Remove Programs' icon. Once this has finished listing everything you have (it may take a few moments to complete), tick the option to "Show Updates" - again, this will take a moment or two. Now you'll be able to select the entry called "Security update for Windows XP (KB972260)" and you'll be able to remove it.
However, be aware that removing this update could increase your exposure to remote attack over the 'net - it was released in order to repair a weakness that hackers have been exploiting since the beginning of the month*.
I don't know of an alternative solution at the moment; you can always use an alternative browser but IE is a habit many people don't want to chnage from - myself included - but if I do work out how to keep the update and get IE working, I'll post.
In the meantime, go and do something more useful with your time and stop chatting! ;-)

I like the rooms where you can have a laugh with people ....
Rooms where lots of old names suddenly appear :shock: and some of the new ones join in with the fun without taking offence ...![]()
Rooms where you end up thinking "I`d like to get to know that person better" :thumbup:
