Just battled a nasty virus

Still run the Spybot, you just don't need to do the right click part. Just run it after you have run the malware program.

cool thanks sly! I'll give it a try after work. And as usual "must spread rep around"

Spybot is a great program. Remember to immunize every couple of weeks to protect newer data. I run Avast Virus Guard, Windows Defender, and Spybot and I don't have any problems.
The cost is good too. FREE

oh by the way all of the linux operating systems and programs are completely (and legally) free.

And as an added bonus Linus Torvalds now lives in Portland and is a Blazer fan.

In the Time magazine's Person of the Century Poll, Torvalds was voted at #17 at the poll's close in 2000.

In the search for the 100 Greatest Finns of all time, voted in the summer of 2004, Torvalds placed 16th.

Right click on it and select Run.

you mean "run as"? thats the only run I see... then it gives the option of an administrator, but I dont have a password on it.

Try that but if that doesn't work reboot the computer and hit F8 right at the start. Make the computer go into Safe Mode and then try to install Malwarebytes.

How much ram are you running?

Also when was the last time you checked what programs are loading when your computer boots up? You can run sysconfig or there is a utility in spybot that can help you check that.
