You didn't mention what you use for spyware/adware/virus protection on a REGULAR basis.

You should also have the following tools to keep your puter RUNNING smoothly .....

Some decent Anti -Virus ( updated of course)

Ad-Aware SE personel....... http://www.majorgeeks.com/download506.html

SpyBot 1.4 ......  http://www.majorgeeks.com/download2471.html

CCleaner ..... http://www.majorgeeks.com/download4191.html

Make sure you get the latest updates for the last 3 once you have them D/L .

You can do a defrag ......using XP ....click on start/all programs / accessories / system tools / then select Disk defragmentor .

Once you have all the tools D/L ...updated and ready to run...... do the following .

Disconnect from internet .
Reboot into SAFE mode .
Turn off system restore .
Now run the scans ......starting with your AV , then Ad-aware SE , then Spybot  and finally CCleaner .

Remove anything it finds and then reboot back into normal mode and see how things are .
Running these scans will take a while ....so be patient .

When the scanning is complete .......turn the system restore back on .

Let us know how things are .
