Hello,

Few things ... you may want to visit here (http://www.computerhope.com/forum/index.php/topic,46313.0.html) and follow the directions and a malware specialist will help you out.

That's what I'd do first but if you really want win 7, get the Windows 7 Upgrade Advisor (http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyID=1b544e90-7659-4bd9-9e51-2497c146af15&displaylang=en) and see how you're computer will fare with win 7 with that microsoft check tool. It'll give you a gauge at how win 7 will probably be like for you ....
