    Thanks for that. Does anyone know much about Navexcel. It is a big pain, I have uninstalled it as everyone says using control panel, add/remove programs. But immediately after doing this startup on Win XP after I pick my sign on name is very very slow. When it eventually gets to my desktop I get the message "The Navexcel search toolbar has been successfully uninstalled. Some files may still be in use and will be removed when windows is restarted." I then have to choose ok/cancel. I have restarted many times and this message still comes up and logon takes ages. Anyone have any ideas? I have contacted Navexcel, no response yet though.

    Norton doesnt get the viruses out of the system files that runs windows. Mcaffe does i tryed both of em out, but norton is better to get rid of downloaded and installed files thats it.

    Download 'Hijack This' run it at next startup before running any programs, and then remove this line:
    04 - HKLM\..\RunOnce:[NavExcelBar.dll]rundll32.exe"C:\WINDOWS\remover.dll",_remove@16
    Presto. it's gone (it worked for mine)

    Hey

    Every computer has processes running, if they didnt, they wouldnt work.

    33 processes is pretty good.

    To check to see what they are, since you are running Windows 2000

    Hit ALT+CTRL+DEL at the same time, then click on the Task Manager button that comes up.

    Click on the processes tab

    Now you will see all the proceses running.
    Most of the ones that you have running would be either programs that you have open or windows.

    i had that badurl.grandstreetinteractive bug once before.
    i think all i did was go to tools and internet options tab. it was set as the homepage. and i never had a problem with it again.

    I have a pc that can't connect to NetZero. When I try to login, I get the following:

    "You have requested information from sysupdate.grandstreet interactive.com"

    or

    "You have requested information from florganizer.com"
    These show up BEFORE I can connect. It then gives a list of my possible connections. There is no button get around it. If I click cancel, it goes away and the Netzero app goes through the authentication process. Then it (NetZero) show "you are logged on" but a few seconds later I get "could not connect to server". Does anyone have any ideas on how to fix this? Thanks!
