318144 2005-01-26 01:30:00 Recently I had a problem with my XP home system(yay microsoft).Spybot found something it didn't like(possible extension hijack)so I removed it,bad move,computer had major spaz,lost file associations and couldn't run most of my programs(including spybot, to use recovery option)received help from various Forum Members(Thanks again Metla)who were able to get me going again.Now I have another couple of concerns,Firstly,when I boot up computer is running extremely slow-not normal at all.secondly, when I open folders they open in "search"rather than "explore"(or view all files).How do I fix this,any ideas please???.
system specs:Athlon 2200xp +,512mb ddr,Mx440 graphics,Msi 8x+/-dvd burner. :angry

318145 2005-01-26 02:03:00 Get this www.simplysup.com

Download install / run / scan then Utilities menu 3rd and 4th option.

I would also check task manager for strange names / and msconfig in start/run. See whats under the startup tab.
