http://www.microsoft.com/security_essentials/resources.aspx?mkt=en-us&s=1#mainNav
it runs on WinXP Sp2 or Sp3, Vista, And Win7. Nothing about a 64 bit

Try installing in safe mode, running any antispyware you might have in safe
mode...
If all else fails, you may just have to bite the bullet and reinstall if you
think you've been compromised.

No help can I offer, but to say that I have installed AVG on Windows XP

but can detect if one exists.
I would also search the web for a forum that specia

You could also try Chrome or Ubuntu or many other alternatives. I know
of only one OS so severely defective that it requires propping up with
