Advice needed please.

Ok, had lots of problems since we installed ntl netguard following signing up to brodband. After alot of messing i managed to eradicate the netguard from the system and all seemed to be well for about a day. I was then informed by someone else that the computer had been messed with somehow and something opened msdos, a load of dodgy stuff appeared on the computer which i have deleted to a point where i can actually get on the net now without the computer dying. However, i cannot hit links, and so can't provide my system info from the link download, being a computer dunce all i know is that we have 350 meg of ram if that helps.

I cant seem to make an attatchment either, i assume it's the paper clip, the screen freezes when i try, it seems everything i try to do to help my system benign or otherwise becomes an impossability. I will try to post the hijack log info, if not any info on how i could get it to someone to have a look at would be great, in fact any help at all would be marvellous as i'm about an inch away from dismantling my computer with a well known pc tool, the steel toe capped boot and buying a new one which i really cant afford. Also, the virus/registry/spyware software has picked stugff up and removed without really doing anything to remedy the situation. Internet is slow, pc freezes, and generally i can't do a great deal with it. Thanks.

-After the screen disappearing for the sixth time while trying to make the attatchment of the hijack logfile i just don't know what else to do, can anyone advise please?

Thanks for that, but after a good three solid days, i've managed to sort it just about.

Managed to sort the Malware log myself with the help of some site or another, virus software and firewall are up, and i solved my remaining internet problems by installing Mozilla Firefox (which i would recommend to anyone very highly) as i had a feeling IE was knackered, which it was, but i couldn't re-install it from a number of places for a number of reasons.

There are still a few issues, however i reckon if i can find a Windows disk (shouldn't be a problem), i can use a program i found to repair corrupt and missing files which i think should resolve the remaining niggles i have. I can't update from microsoft as apparently our version of windows isn't authentic, which it is, but never mind, i think i can sort it.

Spyware Doctor found 150 odd problems which none of the others did, which have been wiped, and compared to a few days ago the computer is now positively angelic, i await it's next wobbler which i don't doubt will throw itself sooner or later.

I've learnt alot about computers in the last few days (comparitively speaking) Thankyou and all that, but i don't seem to have the problems anymore and can move about the internet and press links and stuff at will, it's bliss.

Any pointers you might have, or handy software i may not be aware of would be welcome, particularly a windows diagnostic tool that will actually fix problems rather than just tell me i have lots, which incidentally i don't trust at all, i think they just throw up an exagerated amount of errors so you'll buy thier stuff.

Btw, i wouldn't recommend to anyone to do some of the things that i did to fix this computer as half the time i didn't know what i was playing at, and i could quite easily have killed my system thinking about it. If i could have performed the simplest of tasks with it, i would surely have left it to one of these guys to direct me.

Basically i had, IE problems, Windows problems (will still have a few) and lots of nasty spyware problems which just made the computer nigh on impossible to use.
