The 'known' fact is that some people have no idea what they are doing,
expect everything that they do to be 'auto corrected', and then come into
one of these newsgroups complaining that MS Windows is the problem..

Re. backups, the time to save data is BEFORE user induced problems strike..

If you use Outlook Express as a newsgroup reader, you will not have a
problem with blocked pop ups.. you will not have to click at the top of the
page to temporarily unblock them..

Linux is coded MUCH better?.. do you really think the threat to move to a
competing operating system will move anybody here to feel sorry for you..
you don't have a hope in hell of setting up and using Linux with your
attitude and general ability..

Of course, you could always come in and ask nicely for help.. here is some..
assuming that you have a firewall and anti-virus updated and running
already..

Stinger is a one shot virus removal tool, and can be found here..

SPYBOT 1.3 is an adware and scumware removal program and can be found here..

AdawareSE 1.05 is also an adware and scumware program, and can be found
here.. http://www.lavasoftusa.com/software/adaware/

Omega Killer will remove some search engines regarded as pests..

You might want to remove temporary internet files.. open IE, go to TOOLS -
INTERNET OPTIONS and look for the button to do this..

Also, right click on My Computer, select PROPERTIES, and use the DEFRAG and
ERROR CHECKING utilities..

These should keep you busy for a while, and may even save you having to lose
all of your data doing a destructive re-install..

Good luck..
