Unhappy Help!
I turned on my computer yesterday, and to my suprise found that my background had turned a dark shade of blue. Then it returned to normal after a while. Before that, however, one of the other computers on the network we run has been experiencing problems-Applications not opening properly, Logitech devices not connecting and so on.

My laptop has been acting a bit weird also, AVG would keep telling me my license was'nt valid which is a little weird because I am running AVG Free 8.0. Also, it told me i had updates but would'nt actually display the updates or actually update.


Now today, AVG Free 8.0 is doing the sae thing on the other computer AND when I logged on the clock in the the bottom right hand corner had been replaced by "Virus Alert" and a Windows XP box kept popping up telling me that someone was trying to access my computer of the web.

Because AVG wasnt working, I bought a copy of spyware doctor in hopes that it might do something, but it just sat there at 0% doing nothing. And, I have Snoop Free Keylogger Bloacker or something like that and it was telling me that msn was trying to hook my keyboard.

I have begun to wipe my disk and hopefully it will remove it but if it doesnt or it happens again on the other computer, I would like to know i anyone else knows what it is and how I may fix it.

Thanks All!
