I downloaded the windows sp 1 patch back in late summer.
my daughter took her computer to school and it hasnt
worked right since. She is unable to i.e. order online,
check aol mail from internet explorer..etc.
we have tried everything, no security issues, cookies and
all that rot that tech help tells you to empty etc.
anyone have any ideas...........
 
"[My] daughter took her computer to school" is the big hint. If she's a
normal kid, she's into P2P file sharing (illegal downloading of music) and
most popular P2P applications install "hidden" hijackware.

You *must* seek updates for Ad-Aware, Spybot, etc., before each and every
use, even "right out of the box". But even then, they can't catch
everything. When all else fails, HijackThis
(http://www.merijn.org/files/hijackthis.zip) is the preferred tool to use.
It will help you to both identify and remove any hijackware/spyware. **Post
your files to http://forums.spywareinfo.com/ or the Spyware forum at
http://forum.aumha.org/ for expert analysis, not here.**

Also update your virus definitions and then run a full system scan. From
now on, do both daily.
