A couple issues after reformatting

Last Wednesday I was on the computer and up popped one of those messages that
said I had a virus, do I want to run my anti-virus program, I said no, and I
guess it didn't like that answer because all the sudden there were all these
porn sites for me to click on. Well I am not one to hunt down viruses, so
the easiest thing for me was to backup all my files, graphics..etc and then I
did a total system recovery.
No biggie to me.

So for the past few days I have been slowly reinstalling everything, taking
my time with all. All seems to be well except for these few issuses:

1. On startup it will sometimes say "Duplicate name exists on the network",
not sure what that means. I am the only user on this computer

2. And then on other times when I start up, on my taskbar there will be a
yellow triangle with an explanation mark in it. But I can't click on it to
see what it says, because it will disappear when I click on it. Any ideas?

3. Also it seems to run alot. I will do an Ctrl+Alt+Delete to see what is
running and there is nothing in the applications, I am not sure how to read
anything on the other tabs. I actually have to shut the computer off and
unplug for a few seconds then restart to get it to stop running in the
background. Any ideas?

Thank you for any help or suggestions,
Debbie
