Thanks for the tips. I ran Ad-Aware and Spybot, but not
CWShredder, because when I tried to download it, the page
did not work. I also ran Hijackthis. I cleaned
everything up. I also ran winsock fix (i do have win xp)
in case there was a problem with my winsock.dll file.
my IE worked for about 2 minutes, but I still get "not
responding" whenever I try to do anything! Any idea? This
is so frustrating! Thank you.
