Well, it happened within minutes of logging off the internet, so I'm not sure but I think I got a virus. My PC just decided it was going to shut down and it kept trying to do that. Hard to explain whats happening. Guess now I have to wipe my harddrive. I'm going to see what happens when I switch hard drives first. But I won't be going back online with it, even if it works. I have to figure out a better way to access the internet. sigh, I just hope that my other pc doesn't catch a virus, it uses the same protection. Any words of wisdom? Thanks, Ang
