Yeah, I guess so. My husband was in charge of all that stuff. Okay, good news bad news. Did the malware download and scanned, found 2 bad things and killed them. Bad news is IE will still not open normally. Here's the malware report: Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware 1.34 Database version: 1809 Windows 5.1.2600 Service Pack 3 2/27/2009 11:51:57 AM mbam-log-2009-02-27 (11-51-57).txt Scan type: Full Scan (C:\:) Objects scanned: 163511 Time elapsed: 1 hour(s), 11 minute(s), 47 second(s) Memory Processes Infected: 0 Memory Modules Infected: 0 Registry Keys Infected: 1 Registry Values Infected: 0 Registry Data Items Infected: 0 Folders Infected: 0 Files Infected: 1 Memory Processes Infected: (No malicious items detected) Memory Modules Infected: (No malicious items detected) Registry Keys Infected: HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Ext\Stats\(b64f4a7c-97c9-11da-8bde-f66bad1e3f3a) (Rogue.WinAntivirus) -> Quarantined and deleted successfully.

So, what do you suggest I do next? Download Firefox, copy my favorite sites and delete IE?

Yes this is IE and i don't think I used another browser, but not sure. We got google chrome the other day but decided to change it back to old google so is that maybe anything to do with anything?

I sometimes get that message when I have a loose connection, either with my cable modem or the Linksys router. It will clear after checking the connections and/or pushing the reset button. Just my 2 c's. Bejay

I had the same thing happen with the latest version of the Sea Monkey Browser. I would get a spinning circle and the screen would get a white washed look but could still see the items on screen, couldn't scroll up or down or side to side.. This would happen 4-5 times in a 15 minute period. It didn't matter if I was reading online newspaper, or email. The freezing would happen and would last for several minutes. In order to fix the problem , I had to delete the default user profile and then create a new default profile.
