Gold Member Username: StnorrisIA US Post Number: 1145 Registered: Apr-06 | ok. i got it all fixed. bassman3 helped me out and hooked me up with techsupportforum.com site, and another site. i got a few programs downloaded, and i ran them. i cleared out a lot of adware, and some spyware, but the aim was still messed up. then i found a thread on techsupportforum.com, about the aim virus, and the moderators there said to clean out spyware, and download aimfix. now my aim is running perfect again. and after running adware and spyware programs, and finding some updates for my XP sp2, my computer is not restarting like that anymore. ya chauncey ur welcome for the heads up. stay far away from any links talking about pictures, even if they are from ur sister. lol. |
