Hi all, thanks again for the help. Yeah I downloaded all the patches and yes I did disable system restore (it was disabled already), but i didn’t enable it defaulted that way. Does enabling make a difference? Other than that I’ve done everything suggested on this topic and to the letter. I’m no slouch @ computers, even tho i’ve only been usin XP, which is my first NT base PC for almost a year. I don’t know what else to do…I can keep scannin and removin junk, but if it keeps comin back I’ve got to try somethin else. :-\ Please help, typin between pop-up windows and movin viruses that come back is so annoying. :frowning:
