MBAM found the Security Center disable thing I told you about yesterday so I fixed that. As for Norton, it found the usual Tracking Cookie and that was also fixed.
As for my computer, it's running better so thanks for the help, I appreciate it!

This isn't a bump attempt as the thread is still near the top, but you might be surprised to hear that I actually found strange sharing folders from other users in "My Sharing Folder" (you know the one from messenger that is placed in both My Documents and My Computer). They had some weird contents and I've never attempted sharing folders with them in the first place so I deleted all of them via Recycle Bin and I deleted the 'My Sharing Folder' itself. Very strange though - I have a feeling I might've gotten it the virus in the first from these people via the Sharing Folder.. There's no way to disable the sharing folder from Live Messenger is there?
Just thought I'd let you know before you close the thread, thanks again.
Have a look here:
Right click the WLM icon in the System Tray and choose "Open Messenger"
Click Tools at the top then Options. I would check all of the settings, but for now click Sharing Folders to see who you are allowing sharing with. You may want to uncheck Sharing Folder.

All I saw in Options was:
Personal
Layout
Sign In
Messages
Alerts
Sounds
File Transfer
Phone
Privacy
Security
and Connection
Seeing as I have the latest version.
I checked and my version is 8.1, if you have a newer version I can't help. Try looking for a support option.
Thanks
