Default HELP PLEASE! PC/IE problems.....

Love love LOVE love Love

-------------------

Okay this is wierd.... underneath the second and the third words (where it is in lower case) the word is underlined. hovver ofer it and it says click for more info, click it and the page turns in to a web page with the title "ENHANCE MY SEARCH" and gives me definitions of the word

This has never been like this before

I have just spent the last hour and a half trying to sort the PC as a Trojan virus dropped itself in and screwed a lot of shit up, placed a bunch of icons on my desktop, looks like it installed a shit load of spyware and shit

Now IE is behaving a bit odd with this thing, and also it pauses when it's finished loading a page (at the bottom of browser you have the blue bar and the bit where it says "opening http:// blah blah" it does as normal then when it says "done" the blue bar is full but it pauses for mybe 3-5 secs where you can't do anything and then is normal)

WTF is going on?????????????/

Spyware. Start by binning IE and use Firefox mate - www.getfirefox.com - very very good free browser.

Next step - get an anti-spyware prog. Try webroot spysweeper - it's free to download and use, but you have to pay to update the definitions, so if you install it today it'll get 99.9999% of current spyware.
