More information learned:
I suspect that a virus or malware is on my computer. (I have windows 2000), since it's really slowed down and there were some folders with no name listed on the Control Panel. (remove/add programs was disabled.) When I turned it on the other day, it was in order to download some virus killing programs through your site. The computer turns on, seems to boot up, but ultimately I get a blank screen. I did Ctrl, alt, del and got in through Task Manager, and managed to connect to AOL by the Run Task feature. (Internet Explorere does not open.)

I put in the url for your site and got the message that I couldn't go anywhere b/c the memory was too full.

Recent development: I found I can open Excel through "run task" and am seeing malware type files in various folders. Can anyone recommend some software or anything I can buy and install to clean up my harddrive since right now all these bloody files are clogging things up and I can't seem to get on the Internet?
