The problem is, there's not much help we can give you beyond the obvious. Download
and run Spybot S&D, D/L and run CWShredder, keep your antivirus and firewall software
up-to-date, and get rid of P2P programs. One more thought: Before running any of
these programs, turn off System Restore. S/R gives bad guys a place to hide while
you're trying to clean them out, by turning it off you remove a hiding place. Remember
to turn it on again after you've cleaned your system, and you're sure it is, indeed,
clean.
No advice we can give you will help as long as Kazaa is on your system, serving as
an open doorway to every miscreant who wants to take over your system. That, and
porn sites, are the two primary ways of non- email attachment infection these days.
