Welcome to the forums

I'm going to move this to software, it'll probably get more answers there.

I would say that if you haven't already updated vista, do that first, and then do a virus/spyware scan.

trying that fire fox seems fine isnt ti faster!

Hi, if you download, install and run CCleaner and clean out your Internet explorer browser cache, history, etc...

And then download, install and fully update both...

SUPERAntiSpyware.com - Downloads

and

Spybot-S&D! - Downloads

and run them both - and then run SUPERAntiSpyware in safe mode. You should be ok.

..if not, you may have something a little more serious going on. Try that lot first though.

Dont run spybot with x64, it'll murder your IE7 and outlook performance, although there is a patch available to fix it.

Forgot about 64 bit Vista being abnormal bo-larx. Although I'm reliably informed the latest Spybot downloads are just spiffy and peachy. Still. You don't need to run Spybot really anyway. SUPERAntiSpyware should cover your ass for a pre-lim check, so just stick with that for the time being.

I would download, update and run Microsoft's own Windows Defender if you haven't already got it on though.
