What!? For real! Wow. Thank you so much! I have no idea how you people know this stuff so well but I'm very thankful to have found you! In a way this was a good thing because I learned about some new programs and I think my security is very much upgraded! Thanks again for all the help, I was really worried there for awhile!:grinthumb

:D

EDIT:

Ok, everything else is fine but I find that I am still suffering from the google redirection problem. Sometimes when i click a google link I get sent to some other site.
 
These are the only ones that could be causing any redirection issues

Please tick and fix all entries above
Making sure to close any Internet browser first this time

Restart and test Google
 
Alright. I restarted and tested google. I have clicked many a link and so far no problems! I think It was one of those options. A thousand thanks, I'll let you know if I run into the problem again but it looks licked!
 
Vista Please help

Hi i was redirected to this forum for my issue, and for ease im just going to copy the op.

Ok, so this morning i woke up and went to my computer to turn it on as normal, meaning i hit the space bar to wake it up on my way to make coffee. When i came back to check my e-mail it was turned off. No big deal, i turned it back on. It went through the usual windows deal with the bar thingy at the bottom of the screen, but it never started. About 5 minutes later i got a black screen that told me some changes had been made recently and wasnt allowing windows to start properly. So i selected the option to have windows find (and hopefully fix) the issue. That didnt work, so i tried several more times with no sucess, then i opened the bios menu to poke around a bit and see if i could restore some defaults to try and fix it, nothing. The computer is a Compaq Presario F700, WIndows Vista, AMD 64 AthlonX2 with NVIDIA Graphics card. Thats about all the technical info i can pull from the stickers on the thing. Its also a laptop if that matters in the solution. I cant think of anything i have changed recently other than about 2 weeks ago i went and turned off some things to make it start up faster, I.E. the games i never play that came on it and things like that, if it wasnt clear what the program was i turned off for start-up i did'nt touch it. Im also on my wifes computer because liek i said it seems completely dead. Thanks in advance for any help and/or info you can give. I cant log into safe mode with F8, it just beeps at me, it just seems to have died.
