Hey, maybe this is the wrong forum, but you people probably know way more than I do about this stuff. To the point. Windows XP, suddenly it begins to run slow. I try everything to fix it but nothing works. It's not connected to the internet but I download Norton 360 at school and install it on my computer. Against all odds, it finds spyware called spyware007.spy and "fixes" it. I turn off my computer and reboot but now when it powers up but nothing happens - it just turns off after about 5 seconds. HELP! Anyone know how to deal with this? Again, sorry if this is the wrong place to post this! Nick

Jump to Posthah.. what did you do to "try.. to fix it"? Norton is a piece of junk, I wouldnt install it on any computer. I've never heard of spyware007.spy... The computer turns on and then off in 5 seconds? Does it display any messages, beeps, etc?
