Under properties it says :
File type:Application Description: Ntzl Size:5.55 KB
.. Earlier my entire desktop was filled with a blue scroll box,Like a broswer but with no tool bar.. and inside was '' My desktop' with a warning written across it saying i was at high risk , something about my IP adress and it said '' they know:..'' with a list of my computers details etc .. then there with a few ''click here'' links , to ''fix'' the error etc .. I left that alone
and went to downloads.com, and downloaded SpywareDoctor...It's scanning now.. and has found 233 infections....apparently..
Any ideas?..Im not to good on the ole computeach

By far the most effective one is Microsoft Antispyware formerly known as Giant Antispyware. You can download it from www.microsoft.com. Of course only if you have a legal copy of Windows 2000 or XP.
Them MS bastards keep win-tricks to themselves.

i use:
-ad aware -spybot -microsoft antispyware -grisoft avg
-system mechanic (cleans invalid registry entries and system junk)
each and every program finds different items, so i doubt only a single one could suffice.

My computer is offically fucked..for the minute..I love it.
..alot.
Not only is it choc-a-bloc with SHIT ...I now can't get online,(Im downstairs now)...or really many places even around my computer ,to fix the issue - without it freezing and dying on me.It is refusing to connect..no matter what i do.
Will system restore help?If i can get it to work..Or should i just give up,and smash it one with a heavey something...?
Thank you guys for all your 'helping-ness' ^_^

do you have windows installed on the same disk as the files you want to backup, like music and photos?
i dont know about system restore. whenever windows is fucked, it's always better to format and reinstall, especially if it is infected with spyware and/or virii, IMO.

the only advice i have is to stop clicking advertisement banners that promise thousands of new emoticons for your msn or a bonzai buddy who'll stand by your side till death.

If so, save all of your "important" stuff (you can save any files in gmail by emailing yourself too), then you may have to re-format your hard drive. :( It sucks, but it may be the only option.
