You have the left overs from the viruses. There are fixes that you have to
make in the Registry for some of them. Did you keep track of the virus that
she had? More importantly, figuring the cost of the time spent doing this,
wouldn't it be easier to wipe the computer and reload? Usually the machine
is going to run a lot better anyway with a clean registry and most people
are usually interested in only their data which is usually easy to copy off
and back on. Just a thought.

> Still having trouble with my friends computer ......... She had several
viruses which I have fixed and put on a virus checker ... AVG and set up a
firewall for her. 1st problem is that I can't access her control panel
..... It comes up as "Access to Specified file denied" and the 2nd problem
is that under her favourites folder on the web comes up with porn sites
..... she deletes them and then when she checks back ..... they are back in
her favourites folder again ........ she is the only one using her computer
at the moment.

Good advice is like good paint- it only works if applied.
