boxsexitbags is a folder on my computer that no matter what i've tried won't go away! I've tried to delete it in the following ways: convetional delete key, drag it into recycle bin, and norton utitilities wipe info. is there any way to get rid of this thing? Also i've got some tool bar called DoesAceManager, and my home pagekeeps on defaulting to searchweb2.com. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!

This might be something I've been dealing with until recently as well, if you have Messenger Plus! then delete it as it is filled with spyware (even if you chose the option not to support it). If you have a spyware monitor running when you uninstall it, you'll even get to see the uninstall "hijacking" the various web details as it corrects them to their original settings.

Theres some info of a similar nature that you might want to consider too at http://www.computing.net/windows2000/wwwboard/forum/58246.html. Also download Hijack_This and scan the system and look for anything suspicious, if unsure you could post a report from it for someone to make suggestions.

Hope that lot helps you!
