Somehow or other, something's got hold of my puter today... and whatever it is, Norton, SpyBot and AdAware (all updated daily) don't see it. "system2.exe" tried to act as a server (firewall prevented that) and now I can't get Taskman or Regedit to stay on the screen for more than 2 seconds, and they often don't appear at all when I try to run them... Anyone seen this before? Any suggestions?
