    Again, thanks to everyone for taking the time to try to help.  Mcafee on, uninstalled adaware and securia.  Is there another way to eliminate this virus since my 2gb flash drive won't be of help?

                              Is it just flashing black twice on startup? Because that is normal for Vista.

                                It is Vista, but I don't remember that happening before I think the computer got infected with the virus...is that gopher a product of a virus infection and should getting rid of it definitively solve the problem do you think? I'm going to try another malware scan and see if that freezes up the computer again...
