OK, this can't be good. I cannot connect to a single anti-virus, anti-spyware website. Not.A.Single.One. I'm assuming the 'orrible virus has left something nasty that prevents connection, because a friend can get to the sites just fine and I can (obviously) connect to other websites no bother.

I've run AVG which wasn't updated but did find some trojans which it claims to have removed. I'm guessing it didn't get 'em all...*mutters* I've downloaded Avast from a download site but wouldn't you know it, the setup file crashes every time you run it. *sighs more*

Is there a kind soul who could chuck Avast and/or a spyware removal gizmo up on YouSendIt or some such site so that I can try sneaking around the problem? If that doesn't work, umm, I may have to cling to some techie person's ankles and wail for more help. You've been warned. Thanks in advance for any assistance!

If the other instructions don't work let me know and I'll send (snail mail) you my Norton 360 disc. I bought one of the "good for three computers" ones and only put it on two computers. (My new one runs Vista and the version of 360 I have doesn't work with Vista. *scowl* It would be nice if someone got my monies worth out of it.)

Oooh that would be great, thank you! I had to do a reformat in the end *sigh* So I'm now resinstalling everything. Again :P But a really good virus program would be great. I'm setting up Avast for now *prays it works* When I get my email up and running, I'll drop you a line with my address. Thank you again!
