I know my computer either has a virus or a adware program messing it up. I downloaded Kazaa last week (bad idea). For a couple of days, my internet has been slow loading and small popups have occured. Then perfectnav started taking over my browser. When I try to run ANY form of virus detection my XP shuts down and reboots. I can't get my computer to run Norton without restarting. Same thing with Housecall online virus check. I downloaded Bazooka and found I had several ad programs. Cydoor, Perfectnav and Gain were shown. I followed the instructions manually and got rid of everything except the Gain. I even did everything suggested by several non-gain websites. As far as that is concerned it should be gone but Bazooka says it isn't. Then I downloaded Spybot and Adaware...again both shut down the computer just after they get searching my c drive. I must admit this is a feature of XP that I hate with a passion. I've never had another version of windows be so touchy. I also loaded Hijack this and actually got a log (will provide if requested)...but am clueless what to do. Any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated!!!! Envy

Get SpywareBlaster 3.2 Get Spybot Search & Destroy Get Google or Yahoo toolbar to block popups Run a free firewall that works such as Sygate Get the free AVG antivirus if you dont already have one. Then.. Move whatever you want to keep and reinstall Windows with a fresh install (not an upgrade). As soon as your hard disk is formatted with your XP-CD, power off and on to enter the bios. Set bios to factory default to be sure its bug free, then continue installing XP. 808
