Man I was having lots of trouble! I just knew it was some kind of virus and likely a trojan. IE kept closing on me etc etc etc. tried several "free" registry cleaners which did zip.They get you to dowload the program,it runs a scan and finds all kind of crap. Then they tell you that you have to buy the friggin program..So much for free.
So I found this program at microsoft for nothing.

It took about 5 hours to scan the puter on a full scan but it found 4 trojans,and lots of other damaging crap. The 4 trojans were part of some movie files the wife had downloaded. So the microsoft scan cleared it all up and wow! The puter runs like brand new!!
I also downloaded spybot which is a good little tool. And also installed firefox as IE still seems to have some issues. We LIKE firefox!!! Faster than IE by far.
I am left wondering why the PC cillan program caught nothing and why I paid for it!
