im posting again... i was talking to another mvp rep last night trying to get
my laptop straightened out and we've come to the conclusion ive got a
trojan/malware program lurking on my laptop... my symtons in a nutshell....
1. i cant access ms update's
2. i cant go to any antivirus website or even install a program- the window
will flicker or the program will start installing an disappear...
3. the process's window in my task manage is completely greyed out...
4 i can access the security center or windows firewall via the control
panel- again when i double click the window will open and then disappear...
5. when i choose start-run and type: regedit to check the registry nothing
happens... will not pull so i can look at the registry settings...
6 when i choose -start and type in the messenger services nothing pulls as
well...
 though my internet other than that works fine...very perplexed at this
point to say the least...please help...

on a side note i was able to install and run a program " stringer " last
night - running directly from the website... but when it was finished i could
even view the results..window just appeared then disappeared... hopefully
someone can give me an idea what's going on...i know ive got a trojan/s i
just have to find a way to get rid of it/them...
thanks
trey
