CrunchBang Linux

I am also getting the I am still alive! message.  I am running Windows 2000 and I only get it when I go to the google homepage.  I have just reformatted my hard drive and all was fine and then I started installing programs and it came back.  These are the programs.  Does anyone else with the problem have any of these installed?
