Getting rid of mcafee and XP's firewall were the first good steps, now though you should get free programs like AVG and Zone Alarm to protect yourself.
Once both are installed, and Zone Alarm is configured so you access the internet with the programs you like, maybe you can do a common port scan at Shieldsup: https://www.grc.com/x/ne.dll?bh0bkyd2 You can try to scan your PC for viruses with AVG now. Also scan for spywares with Spybot Search and Destroy and Adaware. Once you're secured, run a windows update. Make sure you get all the critical ones. Re-run all security tests, just in case. Hope all goes well ~ Most amazing jew boots |

That's what I would have said too, but I thought she could try to fix things a bit first, if she's not familiar with reinstalling from scratch.=/
There's nowhere I can't reach. |

haha, I like how this thread destroys basically all the Dell adverts I've seen on TV in the last 6 months. ^_^
*out of the box ~> BLUESCREEN ~> cant reinstall* So yeah, get a XP install CD from a friend, format your HD and do a clean install. It's no help struggling to the point it is now. This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it. |
