I'm just letting all you guys know (just in case it happens again).

We got a BAD spyware on the computer.

Alan seems to have fixed it. (I don't even know how I'm getting on the internet again, because he did a PC reconfigure and system restore), and we seem to have gotten rid of that SPYWARE. It was Antivirus XP 2008. A nasty bugger.

So if you guys don't hear from me, don't get worried.

I'm just happy to be able to send you this message.

It's been 7 hours trying to fix this darn thing.

bye for now.

Oh Melody, I feel your pain! My poor laptop was infected with that junk too not very long ago. My fiance's buddy crashed the whole thing and installed a new system. It was a mess though, I know how frustrated you must feel! Good Luck lady!!

I cannot believe that Alan re-configured the whole thing. This man, when he watches tv, well if there's a blue screen, he screams MELODY, I have a blue screen, DO SOMETHING!!!

And this is the man who fixed my computer??

He walked around (on his boot yet), smirking "Just call me McGuyver".

I said "you know, you're right".

This has never happened to me before. Not this bad. And most certainly I never had a spyware program lock my computer that I could not DO ANYTHING!!!

Very scary believe me.

I posted a more thorough explanation over at the Computer forums.

Thanks. I just went to that posting. Learned about CCleaner.

Do I have this on my computer or is this something that you download and then use?

Thanks, Melody
