    Virus Help PLEASE
    « on: November 24, 2010, 06:45:50 PM »
    I didn't have any virus protection for about 2 days. In those 2 day's I now have the internet working fine, but I cannot download ANYTHING. A video that would usually take 12 minutes says it will take 15 day's. I can't watch youtube, etc. Also there is what seems to me to be ALOT more processes running in task manager than usual. Any help would be GREATLY appreciated. I tried to reformat... I have windows XP disk, I wish I could just 'start over' myself but I'm not sure how to...??????  :-\
