TE, thanks for the suggestions - went back 3 times, and still no joy.

Drav, I've run three different antispyware programs, all of them up to date - no joy.

Helix - that didn't work either.

Blah.

Maybe you have some corrupt windows operating system files, some of the nastier spyware/virus will attack the. Luckily there is a no cost way to fix that.
Start
Run
sfc /scannow

If you want to see an detailed explanation for the command go to this website.

Maybe you will get lucky and it will repair it.

Fuck me.. that just sucks. Don't know what else to tell you beyond what others here have either... Are you sure you went back far enough on the reste attempt?

PD got a high "five." No particular reason. Really. Just felt like it. Not because of anything caustic he said in a post, certainly.

Electra's computer seems to be a magnet for malware.

I believe the following is the procedure for the stubborn ones that attack at startup ...

Go in and turn the OS Restore feature to OFF.

Reboot.

Log out and reboot again into safe mode.

Run the the various antispywares then.

Reboot back to normal mode.

If it looks safe, THEN you can turn Restore back to ON.

If that's not the exact procedure, it's at least 95% correct. A search for some of those keywords will probably take you to other forums or service pages that have the 100% correct procedure.

Hope that helps, PD.
