    Using Windows XP, IE 7. I play games on iwon.com and occasionally have a box pop up titled Address Bar and the following info:

    ‘http//www.onestepsearch.net/b.cg?bk=H8QudytlwPEbHdczr7*pgCxiHLY3Ah31C*
    CC28G1eI2Z5I1F2PaoSbfhxVJFeraD22xa54xugISL0pKubkJnVfTLZPCQ0*qvjgB07aCChuT1Kkdh4j28vM-*mnrw*bUbjPgxBCJTsTXwfUEOhk3PJh8ojcxzngZEAXJ8MTIl*w4K4y8KffdTTledDDA9Y-Sp9pftG73L9uwuphKNQT03oUVSDuvd’ is currently unavailable. Shortly after getting this message, I get totally kicked off the interent, but do not actually lose my connection.

    Would anyone be able to tell me what this means or what it is related to?

    Thanks!:confused
