Thanks for all that info, I definately need a virus program, I know I got at least one virus. I keep getting that netbus trojan message from my firewall. Another guy suggested spy sweeper and last night I dowloaded it and did it, and can you believe I had 74 of those damn spy programs on my comp? My comp was totally hijacked! The thing booted right up after I got rid of all them, and it even runs faster. I can`t believe this kind of stuff goes on or is even legal, how can they do that to people computers?
