Hi
I wonder if anyone can shed some light on a suspected virus/spyware problem
I have on a machine here.
(Dell PC - XP Home SP2)
It's was totally infected when I got it, and I have managed to clean off
over 70 virus's and over 100 items of spyware but I am still having trouble.
What is happening is - every window that is opened is shut either straight
down immediately or after a few seconds, it doesn't seem to matter if it is
an instance of IE, an instance of Windows Explorer, or any other program. -
the only program I have found so far which is not affected is Ad-Aware SE.
it is exactly the same in safe mode.
The other strange thing is that 'folder options' has gone! - it is not in
Control Panel, and if in Windows Explorer you go to the tools option, the
only three choices listed are
map network drive,
disconnect network drive,
and synchronise.
Has anyone heard of this before?
Many thanks
Chris
