Antivirus is good at preventing viruses. Once a virus gets in, antivirus may remove it, but the damage is already done. Spybot will NOT help, nor will removal of junk files.

Best bet? find any cds that came with yer computer and see if one of em contains windows XP, and reinstall the whole damn operating system. If you need help, i MAY be able to mail a disk that can do it for you, but I'll need proof that you own a legit copy of windows.[/quote]
i have the recovery cd but it will make it xp home and by send me a copy did you mean windows xp pro? well i guess i really don't have any choice anyways but for the mean while i'm just downloading cable cartoons with this one program and plug-in that is adware and a software bundler cause the blue screen is still on my comp and i really don't mind installing eveything again its not like it takes long
