Thank you. I read this last night, but had to wait till I came to work so I can print the instructions. So I will try to repair tonight.

I have another question. I have Norton, it was unable to delete something called sah uninstall.exe. It always says Delete failed. Now everytime I scan it always tells me I have a virus called counter.exe. Yet when I ran the Trend online one, it didnt detect any viruses. Help??

If you know the location of these two files:

sah uninstall.exe
counter.exe

It's OK to manualy delete them.

Get thru the instructions and we'll deal with them later, if necessary.

Ok i am ready to try this. Just have a question.... since Monday I have been having problems with my pc starting up. Remember I mentioned somehow my d and e drive disappeared? Well I had to do a system restore. Now when I turn off System Restore to as instructed,will I have problems starting up?

[Pancake]

If you are worried about it you can leave it and just carry on as normal.

[wicked_shorty]

Thanks Pancake, I finally had a chance to do the repairs... By the way I fixed my system errors. It seems there was a problem with the DVD/CD rom, that was causing everything. I fixed it by taking the drive out and taking out the quarter, nickel and 2 pennies out of it, that my 3 year old stuck in there on Monday.... Anyways here is the current log.

[CTSNKY]

Your log is clean (and you're 32 cents richer!). If you disabled System Restore, make sure to enable it now.

To help prevent future spyware installations/infections, please read the Anti-Spyware Tutorial (http://www.greyknight17.com/spyware.htm#prevent) and use the tools provided.

Are there any problems now? If not, you should be set to go.

[wicked_shorty]

Wow that was a fast response... Thank you all for your help with my problems, your forum is the best. I will definately be making a donation to this board... more than 32 cents LOL!
