Re: Computer guys help please
Looks like you're running Firefox, that's a good first step. What virus software are you running?

Re: Computer guys help please
why don't you do a master reset and see if that fixes your problem. If you have a recent backup cd you wont lose that much data.

when you first boot your computer on, can't remember if it's f10 or f11 but you have seconds to hit it. Then do a system restore(factory settings)

Re: Computer guys help please
you have my most sincere sympathies. I believe the true virus you are experiencing is called
"Microsoft Windows Vista (any edition)".
best of luck,
Microsoft XP SP3

Re: Computer guys help please
Good grief, guys. It's just a simple little Trojan, not a damned rootkit. No need to summon the apocalypse.
Reboot the computer to Safe Mode with Networking while connected via Ethernet cable to the router or modem (no wireless).
Download and install Malwarebytes (free) from www.malwarebytes.org.
Allow the program to update and run a full scan.
Remove the infected files and registry keys flagged during the scan.
Lather, rinse, repeat.
Next go to http://www.microsoft.com/security_essentials/ and download Microsoft Security Essentials (also free). Install, update, and run full scan. Do what it says.
Should be all cleaned up and ready to go.
Any sign of a rootkit and you'll need to get serious with it.
We can talk about that if it comes to it later on.
Going forward, don't get on the net again without up to date antivirus.
Another good utility is Win Patrol. It will let you know if anything sets itself to autostart and give you the option to block it.
If you haven't already done so, upgrade Vista to Service pack 1 and then SP2. The kernel was overhauled in SP1 and they fixed most of what was bad about the original release.
Do your Windows Updates and update javascript and all adobe software (Acrobat, Flash, etc.).
Good move with Firefox.
Add Adblock Plus and Flashblock, if you don't already have them.
Visiting this place without Adblock Plus is like a bad acid trip, what with all of the dumbass animated signatures and what not.
If it comes to it, you can do the factory restore, but you're a long ways from there.

Older Dells had the CTRl + F10 or F11 restore partitions, but the 1501 would be the F8 method.

tucker301 is your man, Malwarebytes is a Godsend and free at that. Do what he said, it'll likely fix you right up.

Re: Computer guys help please
Tucker thanks always for the pro. advice here - I print out your words about computers as from the mouth of God & actually save in a "tucker301 file". I recently was subjected to a "boot sector Trojan" acquired from another individual here on the hide - it was a biatch and went quickly from memory dump to loss of power; the motherboard died (still under warranty by Dell so was replaced, but blank). My IT guy made a lot of money diagnosing and reinstalling everything - maybe Bolt & he are in business together.

Re: Computer guys help please
If I have to deal with any of the nasty virus I will use the Bit Defender rescue CD and my kaspersky rescue disk. All you need to do is make sure you get a good shut down. Even from safe mode and reboot into either one of the Linux CD's. Just do a search for them and burn the .iso

In this cse, I think you are just running into an issue of running the 16 bit game with perhaps an incorrect version of the command.com
