If anyone can help in any way possible please post .... I fell like chucking the PC out the window !!!!!!!!!? :banghead: :banghead:

Have you tired running a virus scanner? If you dont have one you can run the virus scanner online in my signature down below

Says something about browser not supported

well your probly using firefox. You would have to open IE to do the scan.. Or download AVG and update it let it scan your pc and turn off system restore before scanning

Click the Start button.
Right-click My Computer, and then click Properties.
On the System Restore tab, check Turn off System Restore or Turn off System Restore on all drives.

Is there anyone who can help ???????

Rob , did you try the virus scanner that Merlin suggested?
And after the scan can you post a log from Hijackthis? (see link below)
