Re: Help Don't know what else to "run"

Tech Tip: Click here to run a free scan for Windows Errors and optimize PC performance

I'd give SpyBot a shot and if that won't clean it up then try Robear's
suggestion. By the way, I would continue to run scans with both AVG and
SpyBot until they both come up clean.

Last Night I tried to play this streaming video about spark plugs, and it
said it couldn't play it,Needed to install this codec that popped up. I
think It said something about active X.
I tried to install it, but AVG defected a threat, so I closed it, at the
same time or a while later The XP up dates popped up so I installed them.
Today I have some kind of crap where music will play,and there doing some
kind of interview about a tattoo shop, then something I think about a ford
truck, and I don't know what all else.
There is no web page open other than my home page yahoo mail.
I ran AVG and it said it found 4 and removed 4 threats, also ran ad
aware,and it removed some cookies.
I also saw this " Viewpoint something or other in ask manager,(processes)
and removed it in add remove programs.
Thought all was well, but when I came home tonight the music and the
interview started again.
One other thing,when I 1st tried to bring up task manager, it said it was
disabled, and when I goggled it, found the hot fix on I think it was
Sandy's page from Doug, for that problem.
I have not tried system restore yet, because I did not want to wipe out my
updates.
Any one ever have something like this.
This is the 1st real problem I have had since I started running XP and IE
7. Thanks Tony
