If you can't get things fixed and running smoothly, I'd save the favs on a thumb drive and do a clean install.
Mainly, be careful what you download, click on and open. Use web based email that scan for viruses before it gets to you.
Last but not least, cut down on the porn and peer2peer stuff :P
Edit: Yea use Firefox too, IE is a giant hunk of garbage.

I took your advice and downloaded Firefox,AdAware and Avira. I made Firefox my home page I like the simplicity of the look. I was going to remove Internet Explorer but received a message that some programs might not run properly if removed like printers etc. has anyone had that issue? How often do you run the AdAware and Avira? Thanks for the help.
