haha, had to go on laptop now, my internet is now timing out, okay i turned on my computer and now im getting literally about 9 pop ups saying stuff like "cannot open "run.dll" and lots more,

Also if i delete this from safe mode, will it not re-download back onto my PC.

I really need a good internet security, bexcaue this PC used to be a OEM from Compaq, but ive replaced mobo, HDD, RAM, PSU, Gfx Crad, literally everything from it. the only thing that is basically from the old setup is the windows XP operating system, but that came with a free Norton internet for 80 days, (i know this could perhaps be classed as illegal) but is there anyway to re-activate the Norton internet security? because i am not really keen about doing full system restore, even tho that will clear out everything and basically make the PC brand new again. But just the thought of installing all the programmes i have is daunting!!

Thanks for the replies =]
