Here is a sample of what our window 2000 PC's are doing

1. Cut/Copy/Paste functionality is disabled in almost all applications. When
I copy something and want to paste it, the Paste option is not enabled. It's
like the data never made the clipboard.

2. I cannot drag and drop files across folders. I cannot even move the files
around on my desktop. Even if I try copying a file and pasting it, it doesnt
work.

3. Internet Explorer will not open a page in a new window. If there is a
link which will open a page in a new window, it wont work. when you do
help/about in IE it's blank

4. Windows Media Player does not run. It says "Can't perform operation. Low
Memory."

5. when trying to send in outlook, get "operation failed"


This is what we've done
Ran Norton
Adware
Hijack this
Spysweeper
Spybot

What fixed it was using
run SFC /SCANNOW, reinstalling IE and updating all the patches
I can't figure out what has caused this to start happening? Anyone else know?

Hey Jessie
Must have been a virus I think. Tough sfc maybe repleaced an infected file,
scan for viruses! It was wise to patch your system anyway
