Love-hate

That's my relationship with computers! Just been up all night attempting to clear a quite remarkable collection of malware acquired through a certain family member's browsing. What particularly intrigues me is that after installing 41 (!) Windows updates, the reboot immediately went into a sequence of further updates, which in turn initiated the installation of SP2 (yes, I know) & then installing the beta Microsoft anti-spyware program set off another round, & when I finally gave up & shut the computer down (not this one) there were 7 more updates to collect!!
Despite all that, & many hours of AVscanning/SystemRestoreDisabling/Enabling/Adawaring/Spyboting/Windows Defendering/Hijackthising, we still have one persistent beastie that won't reveal itself except by throwing up a second browser window with dodgy content whenever IE is run.
Grrrr! Just answered the door to the postie & he probably thought I was up early, not late...
