alright, so my laptop has been acting up really bad lately. i dont know what site i went on i dont know what happened. but for the past few days everytime i go on my laptop i CANNOT open anything up without it closing. like i'll open firefox, and it'll stay open for about 10-20 seconds, and then firefox will close. same goes with spybot, itunes, my computer, my documents, etc etc. i cant get anything done. the only way it works is if i start it up in safe mode and run the malware scanner i got from microsoft.com (i had to put this on a jump drive to get it on) and i run EVERYTHING and it says my comp is clean from viruses and spyware and malware and everything. so i really dont know what to do at this point. my mom is an IT tech and she got it to work today (scanned it last night, found a trojan, then fixed it) and it just stopped working about an hour or so ago. it closed my firefox while i was on myspace and now it wont let me open anything again without closing my browsers. someone please help me out.
