Re: Can't get onto computer - please help!

Quite a bit of progress made - basically, my computer would function normally
in safe mode. I can use the 'run' feature, my computer etc. I am currently
using Norton to search for the spyware. However, I got to the exact point
where the task manager should be disabled, but it wasn't on that list. So
here are my questions:

1. What would you recommend as the best virus 'searcher and destroyer'.

2. Is there any other way in which I could get the task manager to be
enabled in normal mode.

3. To summarise, how can I get my computer from working fine in safe mode,
to working in normal mode - and then I'm there.

Thankyou very much for your help so far.
