I got FakeAlert-XPSecCenter. I was able to remove it, but have collateral damage. IE7 opens and immediately crashes. Task Mngr won't open. Tried to install Mozilla and it installed but again immediately crashes when I try to run it. Really frustrated, this is making my laptop essentially useless - have to use my girlfriend's computer for any internet access. Advice appreciated!

That I know of, there are not any viruses for mac applications. I would download Safari and install it.
