Download AdAware , update, run. Download Spybot, update, run. Those should help tremendously. I've notice that anti-virus programs are shite and the free programs are the ones that actually work good... McAfee = shit. Norton = shit/now your PC runs slow.
Note! This is a direct link to the .exe for spybot download.

This one is for Adaware.

Knoppix is like a remote operating system or something right? I recall a kid in m java class who used it to run IP programs or something.... Here is the web definition, and it turns out I'm right.
Knoppix is a Linux distribution LiveCD. Knoppix is a Debian based Linux distribution running on a CD drive without using the hard drive or installing any files onto the hard drive. Knoppix was developed by GNU/Linux consultant Klaus Knopper.

I don't know how you would use this to your advantage, but I would sure like to know. Please enlighten me!

Login in safe mode with network support. Then go to the microsoft.com website. If you click on security they have a online spyware scanner which takes care of most threatening spywares. I'd expect what you have to be covered.

Login to Safe Mode w/Networking, then you should be able to get online.
I would run these two programs, "CCleaner" and "ewido Anti-Malware" They are both freeware, you should be able to find them through Google or Download.com
If those still don't work, there's a program called "Dial-a-Fix" which can repair broken registry links/entries.
I don't think I've ever seen a problem that these 3 progams could not detect (I am a Network Administrator / Tech Support, so I see a lot tongue.gif)
Of course, run Adaware, and/or Norton/Defender before using the other three.
Also, do all the Windows Updates, and look at your update history to make sure you have not failed any, I have seen updates download and install halfway, become corrupt, and f**k everything up. If you have missed an update, get the error # and search it on Microsoft's KB, they will have a fix/workaround for it.
Good luck
