Also, it would not let me install any anti-virus programs. Ate them as soon as I tried install them. I was at the point that I was ready to find magnet and run it over the hard drive and then take it out and shoot it. Put it out of my misery. I have had a very short fuse for the last two days.
The only thing that has worked was the Symantec link above. It was in my registry. I can't access my email program. It is a very virulent nasty bug.
It has mess with a lot of stuff in my 'puter and I can't access several things right now, but the bug is gone (fingers crossed, knock on wood, and several thousand prayers), I hope for good.
I used McAfee to get rid of it, I think...I hope.
