My problem started the other day when i picked up some spyware online. I couldnt get rid of it with avast so i did a system restore point and that solved the spyware problem. However my avast then said it was unsecured and would freeze, so i uninstalled then reinstalled it. Thats when I started getting an IE message when my computer booted up saying that using activex might have unsafe interactions with this page. I also couldnt open aim or windows media player. I couldnt find any spyware but i tried a variety of things and decided to restore (again) and the same problem happened with avast as the first time. When i uninstalled avast i could open windows media player and aim, but once reinstalled the problems re-emerged. Any ideas?
I have a dell inspiron windows vista program.
