i fixed it!

i removed avast! with aswClear.exe and everything went back to normal. i guess that means the Trojans are still floating around on my PC, but whenever i try to clean i always end up removing something i shouldn't. i guess i'll just live amongst the worms and viruses and in the meantime re-download avast!

ah so happy to have my PC back and being able to listen to music, watch video etc. etc.

thanks so much for all the help. i learned a lot and now i know what to do if it happens again.
