I've had a IRC Virus for a couple weeks now, I can't get rid of it, but now my systems gone crazy, the hard drive is completly full, my email is acting up. I tried to do an On-Line Norton scan but it tells me there is an Active X problem and it will not scan! Could this be another virus?

Hi Lynn, Let's see what is going on, Download 'Hijack This!'. Unzip, doubleclick HijackThis.exe, and hit "Scan". When the scan is finished, click "Save Log", and copy and paste it in a reply.
