weird message when I try to open My Computer

Everytime I try to access my Computer, I get a strange
message window labelled EXPLORER that says, "Failed to
get data for 'ad'." Has anyone ever seen this before &
if so, how can it be fixed?

Hi,

I would recommend checking your computer for spyware. There are some
programs out there that can do this for you. The error message you are
seeing is consistent with a few cases we've had where customers reported
this problem and spyware was the culprit.
