      Looks OK besides needing to tighten up a few security settings.

      You can delete ISeeYouXP from C:\ISeeYouXP

      ----------

      • Start up IE then go to Tools > Internet Options > Security
      • Set the Security level for the Internet Zone to High. (If no slider is visible, click Default Level.)
      • Click the Trusted Sites icon.
      • Set the Security level for the this Zone to Medium. (If no slider is visible, click Default Level.)
      • Click OK.
      .
      ----------

      Download OTMoveIt2 by OldTimer OTMoveIt2.exe and place it on your desktop. (unless you already have it installed)

      1. Double click OTMoveIt2.exe to launch it.
      Vista users right click and choose Run As Administrator
      2. Click on the CleanUp! button.
      3. OTMoveIt2 will download a list from the Internet, if your firewall or other defensive programs alerts you, allow it access.
      4. Click YES at the next prompt (list downloaded, Do you want to begin cleanup process?)
      5. Once complete exit out of OTMoveIt2

      ----------

      Set a New Restore Point to prevent possible reinfection from an old one
      Setting a new restore point AFTER cleaning your system will enable your computer to roll-back to a clean working state if needed.
      • Go to Start > Programs > Accessories > System Tools and click System Restore
      • Choose the radio button marked Create a Restore Point on the first screen then click Next Give the Restore Point a name then click Create.
      • The new restore point will be stamped with the current date and time. Keep a log of this so you can find it easily should you need to use System Restore.
      • Next go to Start > Run and type Cleanmgr
      • Click OK
      • Click the More Options Tab.
      • Click Clean Up in the System Restore section to remove all previous restore points except the newly created clean one.
      You can find instructions on how to enable and re-enable system restore here:

      Windows XP System Restore Guide or Windows Vista System Restore Guide
      .
      ----------

      Use the Secunia Software Inspector to check for out of date software.
      • Click Start Now
      • Check the box next to Enable thorough system inspection.
      • Click Start
      • Allow the scan to finish and scroll down to see if any updates are needed.
      • Update anything listed.
      .
      ----------

      Important: You Need to Update Windows and Internet Explorer regularly to protect your computer from the malware and other security threats that are on the Internet. Go to Microsoft Windows Update and get all critical updates.

      If you are running any Microsoft Office version go to the Office Update site and make sure you have at least all the critical updates installed (Free) Microsoft Office Update.

      ----------

      How is everything now?

        Sweet.  So far everything seems good.  I'm going to Microsoft to update the stuff i need updated.  Also, is now a good time to update to sevice pack 3?  Also, should i install my norton back on the computer?

        When i go to my start button, the icon for IE is missing, looks just like a blank program file.

        Honestly I would leave Norton alone and stay with Avast! I also suggest installing a reliable firewall. Personally I use Comodo.

        1) Comodo (Uncheck during installation "Install Comodo SafeSurf..", Make Comodo my default search provider" and "Make Comodo Search my homepage" if you choose this one)
        2) Online Armor
        3) Sunbelt/Kerio
        4) Agnitum
        5) PC Tools Firewall Plus

        ----------

        You might wait a few days to be sure evrything is running OK before installing the SP3.

        ----------

        Is the icon from the new IE 7 or is it there from IE 6?

          Should i reinstall Avast?  When i click on it, it says that it's not a valid Win32 application. 

          The icon is for IE7

          Also, i still have a lot of icons on my deskstop from some of the .exe that we've ran.  Would it be safe to delete?
          Examples: Launch, dialafix, hostsxpert, iseeyouxp, fixpolicies, sdfix, CCleaner?

          Also, should i continue to run Superantispyware, Malwarebytes and Spybot? 

          I will definitely take your advice for Comodo and Avast!!

            Oh, and with Avast and Comodo, should I purchase it or running the free verisions will be good enough?

            Keep CCleaner and use it to cleanup occasionally. Delete Launch, dialafix, hostsxpert, iseeyouxp, fixpolicies, sdfix.

            Keep Superantispyware, Malwarebytes and Spybot and update then run them occasionally?

            The free versions of Comodo and Avast are fine, try reinstalling Avast.

            Install TweakUi - http://www.filehippo.com/download_tweakui/

            There is a setting in there that says Rebuild Icons. Maybe that will fix the Icon problem.

              Ok, my icon is back and working.  Could you send me a link to Avast?  I did a search but it kept asking me to pay.

                Well, i have Comdo and Avast installed and running.  Will i need to update Avast or will it do it on it's own whenever there are updates? 

                Also, on the system restore, should I have it checked for "Turned off" or have it unchecked? 

                Other than that, i think we've fixed it :) :)  I appreciate your help so much, thanks a million times over.

                Avast will update on it's own. The only thing avast doesn't do on its own is automatic scans so if you want to scan you will need to open it and do one manually or follow this guide to set them automatically. Click here

                Avast also has skins to change the appearance. http://www.avast.com/eng/skins.html

                System Restore should be turned on, there should be no check mark. http://support.microsoft.com/kb/310405
