Ok guys ive been working on this problem for quite some time now and after all of this time im 95% certain ive discovered the source of my problems.
To locate the issue i have reinstalled windows about 5 times each time replacing the same programs i had on my computer until i could duplicate the problem.
Well after all of that i narrowed the problem down to a game that i play.
Warcraft III... there has been a recent exploit in the custom map games that allows malicous code to be transfered to your computer. As far as i know there isnt a fix for this problem. I saw a post on a website that said Comodo can actually block it but i have no personal experience with it. The recent exploit in the came came as a huge surprise I never would have thought it could have been the problem. I appreciate everyone's help and apologize for getting to frustrated and offending anyone.... even if i did sensor myself. I sent an email to Blizzard asking them for input on the situation. So for future refrence if anyone else and i suspect there will be some more just like i was.. come asking for help about the windows mail box popping up. Ask them if they have Warcraft III or any other Blizzard game that uses custom maps (user created games).
Thanks again...
