I was just using my computer then it went nuts. 3 red circles by my clock with white x's and none of the programs would work including my internet connection. I restarted in safe mode, it wouldn't let me use f8, I had to quickly msconfig and get to safemode that way after a restart. It gives me a minute or so before the stuff takes over and locks up the machine.

So now I'm in safe mode, have ran adaware and spybot, but can't get online to do any updates. Any advice on what I can do?

Thanks in advance for the help.

Using XP.

Thank you Keith. I will do that exactly.

One other quick question though, since this has happened the computer wants to run something called SpySherrif constantly. I've been telling it not to run, but is this something safe to run or part of the problem?
