Even if it wasn't malware you should repair an evidently broken registry. So Steven is right. Format !

It's had some malware on it that has been particularlly difficult to find. The only way I found it was to reboot into safe mode, command-prompt only and run a scan on it. The malware was My Web Search and one other (sorry, I don't recall.) The laptop has one small issue left, but I'm not sure if it's caused by malware or is the after-effects of the malware. It doesn't want to shut down, ever. It sits there saying "logging off" until you push and hold the power button. I really don't want to have to rebuild this laptop, as I don't have a restore disk for it.... -- Thanks, John Aldrich Blueridge Industries IT Manager ~ Finally, powerful endpoint security that ISN'T a resource hog! ~ ~ <http://www.sunbeltsoftware.com/Business/VIPRE-Enterprise/> ~ ~ Finally, powerful endpoint security that ISN'T a resource hog! ~ ~ <http://www.sunbeltsoftware.com/Business/VIPRE-Enterprise/> ~ ~ Finally, powerful endpoint security that ISN'T a resource hog! ~ ~ <http://www.sunbeltsoftware.com/Business/VIPRE-Enterprise/> ~
