Have you done all Security updates (at least)? -- Noel Paton | Nil Carborundum Illegitemi | CrashFixPC | The Three-toed Sloth

Hi, “something immediately starts moving things and taking control” Why do you think of this? Would you please provide more detail description of this situation? You may take following steps to check and prevent virus: 1. Install all important updates. 2. Download Microsoft Security Essentials from http://www.microsoft.com/security/pc-security/mse.aspx, install it, update the signature to the latest and preform a full system scan in safe mode. 3. Turn on Windows fire wall (It’s turned on by the default)and Restore Default Policy Also you may do a hijackthis scan, upload the log via SkyDrive and post a link here. http://explore.live.com/windows-live-skydrive?wa=wsignin1.0 Please remember to click Mark as Answer on the post that helps you, and to click Unmark as Answer if a marked post does not actually answer your question.
