OK,
I just decided to install ubuntu to my home computer. This will be a dual boot system. I used a 7.10 disk i had and later upgraded to 8.04. After everything was sorted i went back to windows to sort out some work. Next think i know windows is going crazy. Although the boot into windows takes so long, i noticed some applications in windows are going crazy. One is skype and msn, keep randomly logging in and out.
Next firefox, when i use 2 or more tabs and switch between them, i notice the pages reload and refresh every time i do this. I scanned for virusus and used an anti spyware, but everything is clean.
Also my external hard drive is turning on and off randomly too.
All of this seems to happen in windows. This never occured before the dual boot.
Is my machine haunted?
