    I'm not trying to spam here. I asked for help and nobody answered. I keep getting pushed down in the forum. I just don't want to be forgotten so I am reposting my thread.

    Ok so I've been having problems with my computer running slowly. Especially when I try to run Outlook Express 6. I kept noticing when I started the program it would throw dl.exe up on my desktop. I did some research and found out that it is very undesirable to say the least. I also get an regenv32 error when I shut down that I've tried to fix through microsoft's help pages. I've tried running a lot of spyware removal programs in safe mode and no matter what I've done it seems to still pop up everynow and then. So I did some more research and I feel upon this glorious forum. I'm running Windows Me and I know to say that I'm outdated is an understatement, but it gets me by until I can afford to upgrade. I went to the run me first topic and went through the 7 steps. I downloaded all the files needed. I Started up in safe mode and ran Ccleaner, Spybot, and CounterSpy. I had to reboot into normal mode in order to do the online scans. I've got all of the txt files needed except for the Panda ActiveScan. I tried running this scan four times and everytime I did it shut down all of my IE windows at around 95,000 files or so. I even tried rebooting and running bitdefender again. After it shut down I checked my task manager and it showed two iexplore's running still. Don't know what that means but if there is something that I can do to rectify this let me know and I will. After I ran the bitdefender both times it told me that my computer is still infected. I noticed alot of the files that were infected were with the Win32.Gael.3666 virus.
