    I would back up your files and restore to factory defaults, if this is 8 weeks old and it already has a virus, no telling what else has screwed up.

    What virus checker are you using?

    Glad it's fixed. Norton should have got those two viruses. Onecare I believe is being phased out.

    Like all of them slows the boot and shutdown time down, but does a good job on my daughter's uni computer.
