    OK Bro, Im suprized a lot of people havn't jumped on this. One step at a time.
    1. get a free adware scanner Lavasoft adaware is pretty good
    2. get a trojan killer Spybot search and destroy is a good free one
    3. Virus scan the crap out of it. Last I recall there are dozens of free virus scanner out there. AVG by Grissoft is free and good, Avast makes a home version free also.
    4. do a windows disk clean, empty recycle bin and defrag.

    There are tons of ways to skin a cat, this is just one of many. Also, you might want to cross post on the malware forum.

    Ok, I'm going to assume your mother is about my mothers age (or I'm almost old enough to be your mom...lol ).......maybe you should get her into Major Geeks ........BEFORE she web surfs. It'll give her some idea on what goes on in the internet. And just like going to school...if your not taught/shown you wont know....Trust me parents don't know everything!!...
    I'm so glad my mom DOES NOT have internet access, god only knows what she would download.....lol....
    Welcome to M.G.'s :)

    Open control panel and click on sounds and devices ....look in sounds for pregrams/activities that are marked to trigger a sound.

    Use CCleaner from the front MG page under top freeware picks.
