Got rained on. But truck is moved. Hope we don't have damaging stuff.

In that case, we're in serious trouble.

Pinging all computer types for help with what appears to be a virus problem I picked up a couple hours ago. I'm logging on from a different computer, as I'm unable to open Windows Explorer, my email, or Norton Internet Security with my regular one. Whatever I picked up appears to have disable Norton Internet Security, along with other features, and also, if I try right-clicking on the tool bar to enable it, it locks up my system. Same thing happens if I try to open My Computer, etc. In general, everything is running slower than normal and locks up if I try to open up a number of programs. However, I *can* get online; but once it connects, if I try to open up Windows Explorer it locks up. Any suggestions on how I might enable Norton Internet Security (so I can download some antivirus updates), to start with? Any help will be appreciated.

Do you have an antivirus CD? Can you boot to that CD? A bootable CD, even without the latest virus definitions, might be all you need.

I think I have the CD I used to install Norton Internet Security. How do I boot to it?--you mean put it in the drive and hit "Run"?

Thanks for the help--this has been driving me nuts the past few hours.

No, restart the computer with that CD in the drive. Let the computer boot from that CD instead your infected system. then see if the software can clean your HD.

I don't wanna sound scary, but you may have bigger problems than just a virus. Do you have a hardware firewall of some kind on your internet connection?

Okay, let me try that. If I just put the CD in the drive will it do that automatically or do I need to do anything special when it boots up?
