Huge Gigantic Problems :)

[Vincent]

Lately, my computer has been really weird. My Internet Explorer's normal

"Page cannot be displayed." page has changed to some searchengine website
called Internet Optimizer. Obviously it is some sort of adware/spyware.

I have Ad-Aware but it didn't work. I downloaded something called Spybot
that deletes spyware.

Right after my first run with that, it wouldn't open again.

I decided to try and defrag my computer. The option isn't on the start menu
anymore! It was a few weeks ago! I had to go around stuff to get my defrag
up. When i click analyze, it restarts my computer right away and then it
does the scandisk. Windows comes up again and it tells me it just recovered
from a serious error. I try clicking Defrag, same thing.

Just a few min ago I got this small bubble message near my clock saying
something like:

Cicero UI WndFram: Help Ctr.exe

Documents and Setting\*Myname*\Local Settings\Temporary Internet
Files\Content\UHTQRUTW is corrupt. Blah blah blah.
Please run Chkdsk.



Help! I'm 14 years old and I'm really freaked out!

Have you run a virus check with an up to list of viruses? If you do not have
a checker I strongly suggest you get one. If not then you can go to norton's
web site and run a check online.
