dang virus infested computer!
hey everyone I just wanted to let you all know I am still here. I am staying with my mom for a few days while we are home on leave. But her computer is jacked up. As I type right now No words are showing up on the screen. They sorta just refresh every few seconds. So I apologize for lack of conversation or for multiple typos throughout the next few days :) Dont be angry, its not my fault

You can get avast software for free and then do a boottime scan for viruses. alot of viruses cant be removed all the way unless you get them right when the computer is starting up.

Sounds to me like some sort of paid-for firewall is in order. The free one that Microsoft provide is pretty weak.
I use a firewall called ZoneAlarm (http://www.zonealarm.com), it is awesome!Currently: Spotted Blue-eyes, two species of Australian shrimp, Ornate Rainbowfish, Guppies, Corydoras, goldfish.
