    lol, this should really be posted on the spyware specific board. What antivirus are you using on your computer, and did you run/try it in safe mode? Also, what OS are you using- sos

    normally when you reboot, you can start tapping the F8 key (sometimes it takes a bit), and it will give you options, like safe mode, safe mode with networking, etc. - sos
