Do a virus scan from the Symantic web site instead of from your computer. Do a clean
install. Do not make several changes to your system at once, it will lead to total
confusion when you have problems. Why do you have several firewalls? You only need
one. The firewall that comes with XP only blocks incoming traffic. Make sure it is
disabled and then download the basic free version of Zonealarm.
