Can someone please help me clean up my system. It is running slow and acting funny. My cursor is slow following the mouse. My text typing line blinks off sequence.

Last night I opened Internet Explorer and it opened 47 times at one double click. I think it would have kept opening new pages if I would not have disconnected the network cable.

Any help from a geekstogo staff member would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you.

Is there any reason my symantec antivirus corporate edition software pick up this virus. I keep my antivirus updated and run anti spyware programs regularly.

Are you sure you typed? Just checking. I do not have that up date. I only have one KB90... update. The remaining are KB89.....

I posted a hijack report on a previous reply to this post. Have you seen that?
