hi

great to hear that

now that system restore is available you should immediately create a fresh restore point

i would really try downloading fresh installers for the programs ( msn messenger ans spyware blaster)

and reinstall those

i would reinstall those programs in safe mode.

reboot your computer in SafeMode by doing the following:
  1. Restart your computer
  2. After hearing your computer beep once during startup, but before the Windows icon appears, press F8.
  3. Instead of Windows loading as normal, a menu should appear
  4. Select the first option, to run Windows in Safe Mode.


try that if it helps

also :
Clean out temporary files.
Go to "Start" > "Run" and type cleanmgr
Make sure the following are selected:
* Temporary Internet Files
* Recycle Bin
* Temporary Files
* Recycle Bin
Click "OK'.
Repeat for each user account on the computer.

i would run diskdefrag too, right click your c\drive icon at my computer, select properties> tools > disk defrag
, if you see a lot of red you really should defrag the drive

let me know how it goes
