My advice to you: Get a mac. Since macs are less popular, they are less likely to get hit by viruses. This computer I've had for a couple years has never got hit by a virus.

Best suggestion I can offer you is run any / all of your Virus & Spyware scanning apps in "Safe Mode" - they have a much better chance of being able to actually remove whatever you're infected with that way.

Safe mode - F8 at start up.

P.S. Everyone running WindowsXP should always be behind a good firewall. Zonealarm is a good choice.

P.S.S. Never use WindowsXP built in firewall, it's crap. ok

Zonealarm is a piece of shit. Pure evil, it is! Ever tried to uninstall that nifty little software? You have to get all ninja on that mofo to get rid of it.

Neemo, thanks, it took care of half of my problems...

I'll have to do this safe-mode thing...

So, at the start up menu, I push F8 and run the programs from there?

Ive been using Mozilla for like 2 years and I've never had any problems with sites not being compatible with it. Besides Mozilla is alot better to use then IE. IE always gets spyware and viruses on your pc.

In my opinion the only good antivirus protection software are the ones you have to spend money on better yet the ones you have to  buy in a store. I bought one today and its PCcillin we payed 40$ for it ok

I've had good luck with Adaware and Spybot - both free.  I'm sure the paid ones are usually better, but if you are desperate and broke, they are better than nothing.  And one time I had a virus that Norton couldn't find, it was a home page hijacker, and spybot found it.  I don't use Norton anymore.

Your browser is hijacked... hmmm... lets see here... first thing you should do is hook up with Windows Defender.  I think it's the best free tool out there for spyware at the moment.  run a scan.  I wouldn't suggest ZoneAlarm as a firewall.  I've used it, Norton (garbage), and the one built in to my router, and I found that Windows Firewall beats them all (it's easier to configure, and doesn't slow down your surfing).  As for an antivirus, I've tried all the free ones.  Unfortunately, the free ones don't usually pick up on everything that the subscription ones do.

Hmm... Pick up Registry Mechanic here: http://www.pctools.com/registry-mechanic/.  Oh, and to fix your hijacked browser, go to Tools, Internet Options, and clear cookies, temporary files, and history, go to the advanced tab and hit Restore browser defaults.  then close out your browser.  Run a windows defender scan and let that go through.  once it's done, reopen the browser and see if your problem is solved.  if it isn't, go to http://www.majorgeeks.com/download3155.html and download hijack this and run it.  post the logfile from hijack this here and we'll see what you should get rid of.

God, I'm a nerd!!  haha... not really, I've just had some experience with this stuff in the past.
