- Hello Billsherenow,
You may want to try this download (free) MalwareBytes from here: http://download.cnet.com/Malwarebytes-Anti-Malware/3000-8022_4-10804572.html?tag=mncol install, update then do a scan of your system to make sure it is indeed clean.
After that do scan with System File Checker, complete these steps:- Click Start, and then type cmd in the Start Search box.
- In the results area, right-click cmd.exe, and then click Run as administrator. You will be prompted to type the password for an administrator account. Click Continue if you are the administrator or type the administrator password. Then, click Continue.
- At the command prompt, type Sfc /scannow, and then press ENTER.
The scan may take some time, so be patient. Windows will repair any corrupted or missing files that it finds. If information from the installation CD is needed to repair the problem, you may be prompted to insert your Windows Vista CD.
Hope this helps you. Let us know either way. Make it a great day!

- Thanks So Much For your help I'm going to give that a try and hope that works for me cause I have been tring for weeks to get a fix for that. And getting fed up with it to the point that I will just take that Damn VISTA off there and put XP back.
- The MalwareBytes that is referred to in this question is BOGUS!!!!! DON'T UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES USE THIS DOWNLOAD, IT WILL CRASH YOUR COMPUTER!!!!!! This is an outrage!!! I don't understand how people can send these infected files out in cyberworld just to reek havoc on their computers. THANK YOU VERY MUCH FOR CRASHING MY ENTIRE SYSTEM!!!
