OK Windows Wizards... I'd appreciate your help. I have a Celeron box running Win XP which picked up some spyware. One symptom has been random crashes / reboots. Using Spybot in Safe Mode several times has improved things. But the machine is still slower than it was and Internet Explorer forces reboot randomly but consistently when I try to delete / cleanup the the IE history, files, etc. Fortunately I don't use IE much, but I do need to fix the issue. If these bizarre symptoms sound familiar to any of you please let me know what works for it. I will go back into safe mode and run more utilities... reg cleaners, etc. But would love to know what I'm dealing with. As always, thanx for being here. Hermits of the world UNITE!
