Glad to hear your PC's running better.
To prevent this from happening in the future you might want to do
the following:
Keep McAfee VirusScan up to date and schedule it to run a scan at
least once a week.
Do the same for AdAware and Spybot. Update and scan once a week.
Check Msconfig and look for any new entries.
Add the TrendMicro and PandaSoftware sites to your favorites. You
never know when they may come in handy. It wouldn't hurt to stop
by once a month and run their free scans.
