That is a nice computer. Take good care of it. Feed it regularly and keep it
warm. The bottom of this post will contain some free stuff seeing as you
just blew you life savings on hardware. I hope you got a see-through side
panel at least so you can look at the pretty parts. It's a must have. Lights
are good too. For about $50 USD you can add an Enermax System Monitor with
card reader, SATA inputs, firewire, and USB 2.0 as well as dual fan controls
and the added bonus is you'll be able to read any card on the market for the
next six months until they have a new type of flash memory available. Oh,
and it's sexy too. You can't beat that!

Anyhow, here's some free goodies for you...

Before cleaning download this:

LSP-Fix - a free program to repair damaged Winsock 2 stacks:
http://www.cexx.org/lspfix.htm

Use that should cleaning out your PC remove or damage your in-place winsock
and you can't connect to the internet.

>From the virus and trojan category pick one application, they're all free,
download it and install it. Make sure that you update it. From the spyware
category pick all three, download them and update them to the latest
definitions. Reboot, press the F8 key over and over again, from the menu
select Safe mode without networking. Do your cleaning in there. Reboot to
regular mode and run the scans again. This isn't going to be quick or easy
but it might just solve your problems and it should prevent you from further
problems so long as you keep them updated and scan often. Most of them can
be enabled to update and scan automatically.

Ignore the last part unless, of course, you're actually infected... In that
case the last little bit is pretty handy.
