Thanks for all your help guys. Luckily, my system has allowed me to keep working, but I want to fix these problems since I wouldn't want them to get out of hand. I'll keep you guys posted as I work through them.

Thanks for the update. Good luck and hope you get rid of all the infections!

Well, i've tried all the suggestions so far but still no luck. I ran all the programs and found a lot of stuff that needed to be deleted but it didn't make a difference. I believe that all of these things have been on my PC for a while and weren't really affecting anything other than making a lot of pop-up windows.

I've discovered a lot of other problems with my machine since my last posts. My Yahoo Messenger can't send or recieve text, there are a couple of very strange things wrong with my internet browsers. They seem to not send form data very well or at all. Drop-down menus that are used to send the user to another page no longer work. Help & Support, System Restore, File Search, & Windows Media Player still no longer exist.

It seems that because my computer was working perfectly at one point, and then all these things occured almost over-night, there must've been something I accidently deleted or messed up, but I don't know what It could be.

I'm thinking of doing a full formatt and reinstall, but that would be my very last option. I think that would take about two work days out of my schedule, so it's not something I'm looking forward to. Does anyone have any other suggestions before I give up?

Thanks for all your help so far.

If you have programs missing or damaged, you can always try running sfc /scannow.
Press start and then select RUN. Type sfc /scannow (note the space after sfc). You should then be prompted to insert your XP disk.
This will then check your system for damaged programs. I'm not sure if this will help but it can't hurt to try!.

I've already run sfc /scannow. It hasn't prompted me for a disc so I assume all my files are intact.

I've scheduled time on thursday and friday to do a full formatt and re-install everything on my system. There's just too many small problems, and I usually like a perfectly working computer.

Looks like it won, guys, but thanks for everything anyway.

Its sad to see someone reformat. But keep in mind you don't have to reformat just a fresh install could also do the trick!

A repair install [i[could[/i] be the way to go here. You wont loose any of your programs and XP's settings will be back to default.
If you are having problems with spyware you should install Spywareguard and Spywareblaster from This post. They will actively try to stop spyware installing itself on your system. I have been using these programs for the last year and i have hardly any spyware.

I've done a windows XP recovery installation, and everything seems to be working great now.

The only thing I notice different is that my operating system looks like Windows 98 now! I kinow this has to do with themes, but I can't seem to get my usual windows XP theme going.

Any ideas?

Start
Control Panel
Display
Apperance
Use Windows XP Style and not classic.
