    I initially posted this in the "'puter & technology" section..But then found here...

    Hi,
    I think I have a virus. I have run AVG, AVASt, Spybot, Defender, Ad aware, and some more that I cant remember now.

    When I try to open certain programs, an egg timer appears but program does not open.
    But the system tray will tell me it is running!!!??
    I have tried to do a system restore, but it did not work.
    And recently the system restore does not complete!!

    Other than that the machine dell inspiron 9400 is running well. I use AVG antivirus software..:o :mad: :eek: :confused:

    Any ideas.?
    I was gonna defrag the whole thing tonight ..but would prefer not to ...

    Go into Safe Mode (usually F8 when its booting up), and run Adaware there. You'll proberly find that some nasty trojan is dragging your computers digital ass thru the digital mud.
