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.
