i did a complete scan with my anti virus software(kaspersky internet security 6) then used the webroot scan no viruses or spyware on my pc, just the usual cookies like doubleclick that ie7 still fails to block the scripts for which is why i use firefox with the noscript plugin.
it seems i have had some privalges changed on my pc also.
i am still able to carry out most admin tasks but not right click on the start menu :-(
my pc is a dell xps notebook that i only use for a few online games, work and music on the move. the music on my pc was ripped from my personal cd's with nero 7. i do not install anything off of the internet or open attachments from contacts i do not know, there is minimul software installed on my notebook atm other than office packages, guild wars, ventrilo/teamspeak, firefox, my internet security(kaspersky), lavasoft ad-aware pro se latest build, macromedia dreamweaver, flash, visual studio 6, power dvd7, and the usual quicktime plugins ect and all ms latest updates fixes for xp.
*edit* i always dislike using programs that have been given great reviews by companies that have a substantial shareholding in that company, or other vested interests! pc world(DSG International) has figures in many pies and are far from truthful to the public! btw who exactly is on the board of vnu??
where as kaspersky
http://www.kaspersky.com/ has been proven to remove substantially more than most other security suits on offer with the exception on nod32 maybe. lol
