    At least you got rid of avg and norton so not all bad, install either avast or avira for an antivirus and everything shoulb be good.

    To dodge Task Manager malicious software would have to get itself loaded by the NT kernel (as device drivers are) which is seriously high privilege. It can be done but it is far from easy and also needs the co-operation of the idiot using the computer.

    It's not a trick, it's just a simple trick.

    I am taking credit for that bit of advice, I'm sure I said that on page 1, which to be honest feels like about 3 days ago.

    Everyone is getting bored I think now.

    Why not take it to a "Local Asian Convenience Store" and see what they can do. They can unlock mobile phones like ****.

    Netbook and daughter are no more. It was the easier way to deal with the situation in the end.

    Nothing <laugh>

    I uninstalled AVG and Norton and it "seems" to be working better now.

    Just a big waste of everyones time in general.

    You still have a problem, it's just not telling you it's there anymore...

    I'm too lazy to go back through this thread and check what you've done. I would say reinstall Windows but I'm not sure you'll manage...

    I've told you to do this ages ago, but install Ubuntu on your puter too and give it a go, you'll have no more virus problems and it'll make life a hell of a lot easier for you...

    Have fun! :)
