   I am about to kill myself - can someone please help?!
I have some kind of virus that is sending emails out
constantly. I know because Norton is kind enough to check
them and let me know. My programs are falling apart, the
computer locks up, files are missing, etc. I can not get
beyond the initial explorer window when I load my DSL.
Before my internet died?, I downloaded the Sasser virus
program and the latest service pack on my home computer
and loaded and installed them on the XP computer. The
computer runs better and faster, and Sasser E was detected
and supposedly fixed. What can I do now?
