Check out the above links. The first describes the exact problem i'm experiencing. The next link describes how you can get rid of it, which is what i'm about to attempt.
Has anybody else experienced this? One article about this i read had over 3million hits. So at least i'm not the only idiot.

Be careful out there - this stuff sux!!!!!
