One of the original problems that I was having, that I thought had also been caused by the virus was the touchpad freezing up after a certain time period while the Synaptics pointing device software was running, so i disabled the software on startup and it worked just fine. Then thinking that the computer might be clean I just re enabled the software on startup and allowed the computer to reboot again now the touchpad is giving out again, do you think this was ever related or is this a separate hardware/software issue?
