I'm wondering if i've got a virus. someone in the household downloaded kazaa, so i'm suspiscious. what is happening, is the computer is extremely slow, and incredimail keeps generating errors and needs to be shut down. I have not been able to open it at all for two days now. i ran mcafee and it found nothing. the dat files are all updated manually, i check once a day. swat it found nothing, house call found nothing. i then ran avg virusscan on it, and it found two klez viruses on it. i put them in quarantine. my problem still persisted, so i thought something might have gone wrong with the system files, I deleted incredimail from my system, then i inserted my ERD and rebooted, fixed over 30,35 files that had been replaced. rebooted again, still slow, but downloaded incredimail again. it is still generating errors. I'm out of any thoughts. any help will be greatly appreciated (oh yeah, i went through the registry and deleted all instances of KaZaA as soon as i found out it had been downloaded)
