Help my computer is toast!

Installed the Anti-Spyware and now my computer is
toasted. It worked at first, but odd things we're
happening. Slow-down, "no Firewall installed" alerts,
different Spyware pop-ups that I'd never seen before.
Then I started getting a RUNDLL startup error. Something
about not finding Wild Tangent in the Program Files. Then
my screen went blue and instructed me to reboot and
remove any newly installed programs. But everytime I
reboot it goes back to the blue screen and doesn't let me
perform anything. I tried F8 for safe reboot but it
doesn't work. Any ideas what I can do?

If you can't afford to have a shop repair it
(recommended), think about starting over by
booting from the XP CD and reinstalling.
Hopefully, someone will post nicer advice.

Change Bios to boot from CD, put your windows XP or
2000... and do a recovery..

or boot from CD and choose repair to have windows try to
repair itself...

Fix your line wrap so that your URL links are not cut off like so:

Tools|Options|Send Tab|News Sending Format|Plain Text Settings...
Automatically wrap text at (change to highest value, 132) characters when sending.

When you do this, your links will no longer be cut off and will work like this:

Hope this helps.

I doubt he can do that using the CDO web interface.
