Try firing up your PC in safe mode with networking, and download trojan hunter or a trial version of something like AVG, ad aware SE, spybot, ewido, etc. The main thing to try is safe mode and see if your ad aware or macafee kills it. Don't forget to get the latest definition update before you use them. ]
You know about safe mode, right? while it's booting ...[text shortened]... e the desktop stuff and then run your anti stuff. They work with less interferance that way.
i'm a saaaaaaaaaad panda.

Stupid question, I'm sure you have.
Any way you can run SFC from DOS? Not sure if any DOS versions support this utility or if it can only be run from command prompt within Windows.

and it's not letting me into dos any more.
really it's not letting me do anything and i am thinking of using one of the long metal arms that would slot into the base of the orbitrek cross-trainer i once bought when drunk in los angeles and watching an informercial if only i ever used said cross-trainer to smash the livlng crap out of the pc.
please add punctuation at will.
but thanks for your suggestions.

I am using Sygate's firewall. I think that Kerio's firewall is better but I could not get it to stop blocking the internet. I also use Ad Aware SE Personal, AVG online virus scan, Spyware Blaster, Sptbot Search and Destroy. I also use Norton Spyware Scan for Yahoo's tool bar.
