Everytime I start my computer Script windows popup and start running scripts on my computer...one is cmd.exe, it reads something about yahoo and msn redirect. Then 7 internet browsers open and start loading yahoo and msn pages, but nothing loads. I also get a few other scripts that pop up called lc.exe gt.exe mt.exe or something like that. Then when I go to shut my computer down to restart it will not let me. I have run adaware, spybot, spyware doctor, registry clean, hijack this, norton antivirus 2005....and I can not get rid of this problem. Any expert advice would be very much appreciated. Thanks in advance for your help and time.

Sincerely,

Kyrospeare
