On another note-- everyone make sure they have the latest Windows Updates-- they have Service Pack 2 now for XP! I did not have it-- but my sisters (biological) both got comptuer viruses (and if they would have had the update they would have been protected!)!!

But to be honest-- ever since I downloaded it-- my comp has not run the same!

I hope people don't download XP's SP2 for at least a few more months. It's extremely loaded with bugs and essentially they are using you as a guinea pig.

I ran ADAWare and Spybot several times.

I have a DOC exploit (5 entries) that won't go away and there are still highlighted words (links) going down the page.

Not sure how computer savvy your are James, but download Hijack This . It will scan your computer's registry and display all running programs, including those linked to your browser (it will tell you who/what it is). You can select what you need to remove.
**NOTE*** It will also list any programs that your computer normally uses such as IE, etc., so make sure not to delete any important files/programs that your comp normally uses.

This is the ONLY thing I have found to thoroughly remove that mess, especially that annoying begin2search toolbar (which Ad-Ware and Spy-ware doesn't remove).

Good Luck!
