HELP LOGGING ON WITH WINDOWS XP HOME EDITION

[R. Wheatly]

HELP,

At home, I use a dell computer with Windows XP Home
Edition.

I use "Earthlink Total Access" as for my internet
provider. At home, my email address is wheat703(remove
this)@earthlink.net.

I use "Internet Explorer" to search the internet. I start
at "(e-mail address removed)".

For the last two weeks I have trouble with my email and
searching the internet.

For about a week I could open Earthlink and get my mail,
but could not open Internet Explorer. I would always
get "this page not available".

I reloaded Windows XP Home Edition with the disk provided
with my computer. At the same time, I reloaded Internet
Explorer AND Earthlink Total Access.

Now, my computer opens Earthlink and Internet Explorer,
but it begins to log off before I can access any sites on
the internet. I get a message that it is going to log off
almost immediately upon logging on.


Can anyone tell me what I need to do to correct this
situation. I am sending this from my office computer
since I can not access the internet from home.

Thanks,
R. WHEATLY

"I get a message that it is going to log off almost immediately upon logging
on."

That's the telltale sign of a virus infection, possibly Blaster or Sasser.
