IE-SPYAD was already installed on this PC but when I attempted to install it again it notified me that my old installation was out of date and then I let it uninstall it first and then installed the new verision as you stated.

I also invoked the windows file protection as you suggested. It immediatelly asked for my win XP disk and then it took quite a while for it to complete its thing. There was no notification that it found anything.

I restarted the PC and got an error msg:
The following file is missing or corrupted: C:\windows\IFHELP.SYS
The following file is missing or corrupted: C:\sindows\system\vmm32.vxd
Type the name of the windows loader (e.g., C:\windows\skystem\vmm32.vxd)

I typed in C:\windows\skystem\vmm32.vxd and hit enter and got the same msg back. So I guess I didnt understand what it was asking for.
I turned the computer off and then restarted and it booted normaly but at the begining of the boot there was 1 extra screen with a line about updateing files.
It still is not accepting my mouse clicks about 75% of the time. I must click several times before it finally accepts. This getting really weird.

Ok heres the results of the Jotti scan: Looks like it didnt find anything.
