Hey guys! I'm not sure where to go from here. I let my room mate use my computer while I was on vacation, and when I got back I found a ton of 'adult' adware and crap all over it. I'm trying to get my computer back into shape, and i'm 90% there, but there's just one issue i'm having trouble with. Occassionally while i'm browsing the internet, my computer will reset if I click on a link or while loading up a web page. I first thought that maybe a virus that was downloaded by him corrupted one of the internet files, resulting in it crashing my computer instead of my ie.
I uninstalled ie, reset my computer, and reinstalled it, but i'm having the same issue. I tried downloading firefox and navigator to see if it's a computer issue or an IE issue, and whenever I try to install those programs i get an error "error opening file for writing: C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\components\nsHelperAppDlg.js" and then I have to cancel installation. I did a full system scan with both ad-aware and kaspersky antivirus, and both say it's clean. any suggestions?
oh, by the way i'm running windows xp and its happening with ie7
