I have no clue what is wrong with my computer. In the start menu I used to have an opton called run now it is gone. My Norton anti-virus dectector always trys to install programs, which it never has before. When I updated my Norton anti-virus it dected "winhlpp32.exe". I can delete this .exe file from the remove virus option, but when i try to delete the history of the virus my pc will not allow me to do so. To make a long story short, "HELP".

Found this, but info is pretty limited and may only loosely relate to your problem: For Everyone's Info w32.hllw.gaobot.gen.html It may not neccessary be a virus.. it could be a backdoor infected from IRC(most likely).. so i advice u to download the two patches from MS Security Website in the above-mentioned URL.. run it and see what changes to ur system? since u say u can go into the safe mode and normal bootup into ur windows.. why not try to what process is running in the backgound.. (Win95, 98 - ALT-CTL-DEL, WinNT, WinXP, Win2k - right-click on the task-bar and goto Task Manager).. see what is the suspicious process running and End Task(Kill) the process.. Alternatively, delete any unwanted registry key in regedit from; HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\ RunServices at least u can run regedit.. once i got a virus that deleted my regedit.. i have to reinstall Windows.. hope this helps..
