after getting hit by the adware trojan, i can no longer bring up the
add/remove program feature of contol panel....i double click it, select
open, and just nothign happens....please help!

as a side rant, when will our government finally pass legislation saying it
is illegal to take virus/trojan/popup adware authors and drag them through
the streets via piano wire?????? i am so sick of the countless hours wasted
because i had to remove UNWANTED software on my machine as well FIX any
damage they have caused!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1
