I have no clue but just wanted to say that I've had the same problem in the past...just not as bad.
I downloaded something onto mine and it killed my javascript program, my help files, my system restore, and my flash player. And when I go to some sites I can't access certain buttons. Like the download button for the flash player isn't available to me when I try to download it. It truly sucks. I can't use any of the buttons in my yahoo mail so I have to go to a different computer every so often and empty my emails and junk mail folders. I can't even access my hotmail account. A lot of the buttons on MySpace are javascript so I can't even use some of the things on there. It sucks. Have you tried Ad-Aware? I got smart and downloaded it. It's highly recommended by many professionals and my ISP actually recommends it. The place I'm taking my computer to get fixed next week recommends it, too. Good luck!

Des,
Download Ad-Aware. It's freeware and works great. Jan

Des,
Download the freewares CWShredder, Spybot, Adaware and run them. Also, if you don't have a virus protection download the free version of AVG antivirus. It's picked up everything my paid antivirus has. It's really good. Good luck! KD

Hi Desirae
I've used this site Geeks To Go to get rid of lots of stuff. Just sign up (its a free service, BTW and you don't get spam emails) and then go to this section You must read this before posting a Hijack This Log and follow the instructions. If you still can't do anything, you just post a message saying what your problem is and someone will help you out. (Don't worry about the HijackThis thing, you only have to do it if you still can't get rid of stuff)

Geeks.com !!!!!! AdAware is the best!!! Spybot has caused me problems. Don't forget to scroll down if you click on AdAware DON'T download Dr something! It's caused me problems, too!

Yeah, from what I've read, McAfee isn't the best.
