Hi E and J
E and J said:
We are not able to type on this computer! Once in awhile
it lets us....address bar seems to work okay, but nothing
in IE...email , search etc. Surprisingly this is working.
It also always won't close programs when you try to,
always have to Ctrl. alt delete it....the most annoying
though is when you try and try to type and figure it out
and it won't...so its pretty useless right now! Please
help!
Try the programs below and see if they will help:
It is possible you may have parasites, spyware, adware,
malware, or hijackware on your system causing the problem.

sure to run both SpyBot and Adaware, as what one does
