It has disabled my anti-virus software.
Trend Micro found a back door virus and cleaned it.
All registry entries in .\Run are normal.
I can't install or uninstall anything.
Media Player won't work at all.
When I click reply in OE, I get an error message stating 'There was an error opening this message. There is not enough memory.'
dxdiag says I have lots of memory. AIDA says I have lots-o-memory left.

Hmmm...

I finally got over a cold...but yeah.

Sounds like you're gonna have to reformat maybe? Sounds like a really painful virus, hope it's doesn't start going around majorly.

Windows media player is really slow and bloated, much more than it needs to be.

If you're listening to music, get winamp.

Most people regard me as the dark and immoral side of Massassi. At least I'm getting what I want out of life.

It's a problem with anything that has to access my system32 folder.
Explorer won't even display what's in system32. I can see what's in that folder with other programs though.

This sucks. Now I have to search high and low for my 2k Pro disc.

My HD died, so it's been at the Fry's (like best buy) and when I got it back it had a fresh hard drive with winxp, and I was installing all my software, and was like "What the heck, why not run a run a full system scan, it'll only take a minute." In that one minute it found two worms on my pc. Wtf...

Those worms are constantly hitting IP addresses looking for unpatched Windows XP systems. If you connect yours to the Internet without a firewall before you install the patches, there's a good chance you'll get a worm. Next time you reinstall Windows, install a hardware or software firewall (like ZoneAlarm) before you connect the computer to the Internet to install the patches.

That's very true. WMP takes like 2 minutes to start up on my comp. Winamp is much better, anyway (for most things; video is not one of them).

As for the virus issue...My internet is acting WIERD. Very WIERD. 98% of the time, I can't close windows that have had Internet pages (online or offline) open in them. A bunch of times, it will just crash and then close ALL the folder windows I had open.
I don't know if it's a vius or a result of something my dad installed. He doesn't even know what's going onn.
