Thank you for the help so far!
However I'm still having a few unresolved problems as mentioned by a few others, ie, 1) My clock says the time followed by "VIRUS ALERT!". And... 2) My hard drive, C:, doesn't show in my computer though I can access it via just typing it into the address bar of any explorer window. I have another physical drive that shows up fine as well as all my memory card drives.
Any help on either of these two issues would be greatly appreciated!
