DON’T CLICK ON YES TO DOWNLOAD THE “SPYWARE REMOVER”!!! 
 
I suspect that your PC has been infected with malware designed to sell a malware removal product or else to load some other nasty software on your system.  
 
If you have not done so, please install and run a complete scan using your antivirus software. Then run a spyware/malware removal product. (Spybot Search & Destroy is available for free or Ad-aware has a crippled, but free version.)

I got this same effect at Respectful Insolence, and there are at last count 5 people complaining of the same in Pharyngula’s thread about Curry. You didn’t download a .exe, did you?

The ones you have got are “addicted” – they have the charge setpoint restored to the small amounts of charge they used to get from the torn up wires of your old AC adapter. The constant on-off current switching unables the batteries to be fully charged, specially the old models.

It would run on the battery charge and refused to use power from the adapter. I don’t know if your problem has the same cause as mine, but it can’t hurt to try: 
 
Look into the system tray on the lower right corner of the screen, there should be either be a battery or a power plug icon there. Right-click on those and see if you are offered an option to charge the battery, or to switch to an external power source, i.e. power via the adapter. In the latter case, the laptop should run from there and the battery charge (provided it really is the same problem as mine).
