    You really need to try Windows BBS - Help and Support forum for Microsoft Windows. "A Wealth of Windows Knowledge". These guys are really good.

    I had a problem a while back and it was dealt with very quickly.

    I Still Have A Problem - Windows BBS

    Next time give them a try.

    Some advice they gave me,

    Download IESpyad.exe, double click to extract (it extracts to C:\IESpyad by default), open the folder, double click the ie-ads.reg file and allow it to merge into the registry. Check occasionally for updates.

    Download and install SpywareBlaster. Enable all protections, check for updates and enable them too. Check for updates occassionally and install them when applicable.

    There is alot more computer advice there

    Glad your back

    lol
    the virus was so bad even in SAFE mode i couldnt get at the thing to kill it
    it embedded itself within windows and would re-download ANYTIME i started the computer up
    the background on my lap top became a link to download the virus too, anytime i could click an icon or anything on the desktop the virus again would re-download....

    believe me it was bad...
