I bought a program from PC Pitstop called Exterminate.  It seems pretty good ... it found some more minor viruses and spyware. 

 

Another problem I'm having is that when I click on the Internet Explorer icon, it doesn't pop up instantly.  I have to click it a lot before a screen pops up.  And I'm getting some pop-up pages every now and then -- I just got one as I was typing this.  Where are they coming from?  They seem to pop up out of the blue.  And all my pop-up blockers are checked. 

 

I also feel that my computer takes a long time to boot up, even though I've run "msconfig" many times and eliminated as many startup programs as I could. 

 

::: sigh :::  I'm so sick of all this .... I have an anti-virus, I have a firewall ... it all seems so pointless if I still get spyware.
