you name it i tried it? nothing worked at all, and i still dont know what it was to this day wat it was. i am good with computers i have built this one up from a shell, and the last one i had too, so i know a lot about them and how they work, but this whatever i had was a bad one, i have not seen anything that can knock out explorer and provent you from fixing it in any way, or even stop you from viewing web pages that could fix the problem like this one
http://securityresponse.symantec.com...ools.list.html
but it would let me view it then it wouldnt let me upload any tools that would have got rid of it. but now i am up and runing again i have put them all onto disk just in case it ever happens again as i lost a lot of my personal picks of my kids and my youngest when he was born as he was 3 months early and nearly didnt make it. so as you can see i was kind of annoyed at it all..
i have a very good anti virus and spyware blocker now, along with the best fire wall money can buy. and i have put in a seperate hard drive to store files on that i dont want to loose, so i hope i have covered all arias!
i lost both my web sites that took me 4 months to build, and lots of other things that i could never replace, but thats what you get i guess when you dont think it will happen to you.
all the best from debbie
