OK, I have a comp that is very good performance, but runs rather pathetically. Mainly because I have so much crap that either I installed or sneaks in:) For the last day I haven't been able to check E-mail or go on the internet because if I entered something it would change it. For example, I enter " It changes it to " No matter what I do, it changed it to something else. Pain in the ass Also, I had some worms I found after using my virus scan. It's a worm that makes copies of itself and spreads all around your harddrive, and every once in a while sends a random E-mail to one of your contacts with the worm in it. Found all 5 of them and killed them, along with looked it up on the other comp (net still didn't work on this one) and found out how to erase it from other infected files. So now I'm happy cause the comp is back to its abnormally slow, but functional state Anyone else have virus troubles?

I had to completely erase everything on the family PC because of viruses...not sure where they came from though... But I mean, it's not like I downloaded porn.

Hmmmm...... Anyway, the continuing saga: My computer was still running pathetically slow, so I downloaded a spyware finding program. So today I discovered and quarantined an additional 160 spyware files

Grrrrr.... and the conclusion. 2 days ago I started up the computer. Windows couldn't load. We tried everything, in the end we had to wipe out the hard drive and install everything over again.

Luckily, I had the most important stuff backed up on a CD. So I didn't lose everything. But the more recent stuff is all gone.... And there was some important stuff in there
