Sounds like this spyware/malware/virus has damaged the OS to the point a clean install may be in order. Hopefully you've backed up your data to CD's/DVD's/ external HD. If not, do it. Next, use the CD's that came with your computer to do a reinstall. Choose it to completely reformat your HD. Once completed, get a good antivirus (Microsoft Security Essentials is actually a decent antivirus). ---------------------------------------------- Work is for people who don't know how to surf Gateway 15.4" Laptop, Windows 7 Ultimate (including Virtual PC/XP Mode and three VM's of Server 2008), Photoshop CS4
