I have this system from a friend that has a outlook express mail message in every and I mean every folder on the system. Some say Spidermanzoo others say monster scene 0024 of 0021, rooftop,fax. The connection ip changes all the time in the intenet options under lan settings, it changes to Use automatic configuration script. I have run AdAware, done the msconfig, this system dose not have a virus program and it will not connect to the net, i tryed to install norton but it give an Internal Error 2889. License_Diialog, Scrollabletext1.
