I have windows XP and I recently found out that I have a worm in my computer. I got the norton anti virus software and it seams to have done no justice. my main problem is that when I try to for say go from my hotmail folder to a connecting site it does not connect me it freezes it will also do it when i am using another sort of software already on my computer. I am also getting some sort of debugging software pop up when it freezez and when I try to run it it says that it is not able to debug. What do I do.
 
Hi Alicia,

QHosts, perhaps?

Go to Windows\System32\DRIVERS\etc and rename hosts. Also go to:
winnt\help. If it is listed, delete it. Once done to go to
Start/Run/Regedit and navigate to this key:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\Tcpip\Parameters
DataBasePath" = %SystemRoot%\help

And change it to:
DataBasePath" = %SystemRoot%\System32\drivers\etc

If the above hasn't helped, run all three and good luck:
