I'd STRONGLY recommend that you format & reinstall Windows Vista. If you've been running without a functional and fully updated anti-virus application for ANY periord of time, the machine cannot be considered safe to use.

See http://www.dslreports.com/faq/10063

After the fresh install, don't do ANYTHING else online until (1) you've made sure the Windows Firewall is enabled, (2) the machine is fully patched at Windows Update; and (3) you've gotten a functional anti-virus application installed AND have manually updated its definitions.

Good luck!

So How Did I Get Infected Anyway?

application (Norton Antivirus and whatnot), it would crash.
I'm having so many problems, and I've only had this computer since April!

Vista or Vista SP1?

What anti-virus application or security suite is installed and is your
subscription current? What anti-spyware applications (other than
Defender)?

I have Vista Home Premium. Every single time my computer tries to install

an error code 80070426. I've seen in other topics that running
Cryptographic
Services helps, but mine seems to be running; however, it doesn't say
what
the startup type is, and when I try to open properties, I get the messages
"Configuration Manager: A general internal error occurred" and "The
resource
loader failed to find MUI file." So I seem to be stuck with that also, but
the more important issue is with the update error. How do I fix that one,
at
least?
