Now what have I done!?!!?
I deleted the old spybot programs and I also got rid of a few games we no longer played and got rid of McAfee. I also downloaded AVAST anti-virus program.
Avast put two trojan files it found into it's chest. One was a zuma deluxe file and one was a system volume information\_restore... file.
While looking at spybot webpage, I noticed my icons were disappearing on my desktop. I don't know exactly what happened, but my computer will not boot now, not even in safe mode. I get the following message:
Windows could not start because the following file is missing or corrupt
<windows root>\system32\hal.dll
Please reinstall a copy of the above file.
I do know that spybot was popping up windows telling me that certain
things were changed. There was no option to reject the changes on those items. I did tell it to remember the changes.
I can copy the hal.dll file from another machine, but I don't know how to get it on my $%^&* computer! And even if I do that am I going to be able to get it back to a usable state? That re-install disc is looking pretty attractive right now!
Thanks.
