Thanks!! My computer is a mess right now and I may have to end up getting a new one but I have not given up yet tho. I will be taking that advise!

Formatting or buying a new pc may seem like a quick fix ..... I know I have been there in the past but it's far easier to get rid of "nasties" You have to learn how to fix these problems as they occasionally occur even with the most updated security.

Update!! I have formtted my pc and have installed XP home edition. My computer and the network is running really great now. And the XP came with a firewall so I'm all set. Thanks to all for helping me. Also have a virus detector running. Thanks again!

The firewall on XP is a bit like a chocolate teapot.......get a free one like sygate it's free and it's good
