You're very welcome, and I hope it's all taken care of. If anything comes up just 
post a new message. These lengthy threads can get confusing, so JmC let me take care 
of it, since we had a good start. 

Spyware can really cause problems. One thing he made a note of was Norton. It's entirely 
up to you and depending on how you use your PC, but you might want to consider removing 
it from your startup. I know that sounds careless, but if you're not using a file 
sharing program, your risk isn't so high. Practicing safe computing, is the best 
prevention. You'd still want to scan attachments and downloads, etc., but you could 
just run it manually on a couple times a week or whenever you choose. 

It's constantly running and according to your startups, there are many instances 
of Norton. You could check against that link I posted, that shows tasks and gives 
a description of each and recommendation on whether it's necessary in startup. It's 
just a suggestion, and they do use resources. 

Happy Computing!
