In spite of anti virus software, I think I got one. Computer boots to desktop, but then I cannot click on any icon. I tried doing a restore and finally got it to where I could instal and run a virus scan program. It found 31 infections and removed them. This morning I have the same problem. Tried to restore and was unable. Computer is on a network and I can get toand see all files on the hard drive on the "infected" machine from another computer on the network. Will appreciate any other ideas. Thanks in advance
