    Default Frozen after initial scan..need help

    I downloaded Spybot Search and Destroy and ran an initial scan and 194 problems were found, 2 of which could not be fixed, except, perhaps upon restart.

    So I restarted and got a black, blank window which was labeled
    MS-DOS SUBSYSTEM
    C:WINDOWS/System32\command.com

    C:\program1\symantec\s32EVNT1.Dll

    on top of that was another little window which was labeled
    C:WINDOWS/System32\command.com
    and said
    AN INSTALLABLE VIRTUAL DEVICE DRIVER FAILED Dll INITIALIZATION
    CHOOSE close TO TERMINATE.


    there were 2 buttons to choose..CLOSE or IGNORE
    neither worked and the machine was frozen, not even the task bar would pop up.

    So I restarted in Safe Mode and uninstalled Spybot S&D through the control panel, restarted twice and same old story...just the desktop and the 2 windows.

    Any idea on how to get rid of this?

    Default Getting Worse

    Now I have as many as 15 windows opened and can't close or delete!
    I tried to terminate via task manager, but cannot find the way to do so.
    It just brings up another 'end task' window.
    HELP ANYONE?
