Hello there, please forgive me if this is the wrong section, it seemed most relevant to me.

I noticed something was seriously hogging my memory or something as my pc was running really slow and you could hear it working overtime even when doing nothing. I ran McAfee 2007 and it removed 98 items and could not remove one of them, said it may be partially removed but not totally - c:windows.system32 AWTTSP.DLL

I ran spybot and it found some usuall offenders. I tried to go into the sys32 folder to manually remove the AWTTSP.DLL file and it would not let me. So I tried to restart my machine as the McAfee option offered to rescan upon start up, I did this and when I get to my password login screen before windows, all the text is in dingbats format and it wont accept my password.

I really dont know what to do next.

Please help me.

Have you tried booting into safe mode?

Restart the computer and hit F8 before the windows splash screen and then select safe mode, here you should be able to either do a virus scan or manually delete it without any problems (hopefully)
