type regedit in the run box...and delete the key >[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run\]
FindSex=C:\WINDOWS\FindSex.exe -n

use the disk clean up tool...and clean out your temp files and history files tools internet/options and detle them all by searching your files.. if not come back i will tell you more ..

and download spysweeper from webroot.com and if you run any scans disable system restore..
