Hi, first time poster & I don't know much about computers


My initial problem:

Right whenever i log into hotmail, paypal the window i'm in
automatically disappears. If i enter my password incorrectly the window
stays.

Whenever i try to open Norton Anti Virus it does the same


It was recommended:

I download Spybot - search and Destroy.....I attempted this but window
closes straight away


Whenever i type this into google etc the window closes. whenever i
type 'virus' into a search engine it closes


Can anyone help???????

Hi,

Try doing a system restore to the time when your computer was working
properly. Start---All
Programs---Accessories---System Tools---System Restore.
