    I read a discussion about DRM removal so that it would be possible to play a WMV video file. Unfortunately I followed a link and downloaded 3 files; these were DRMDBG.exe, DRM2WMV.exe and KEY2FIND.exe. Being hopeful that these would help I ran them and now my PC is working very strange. My emails wont work and certain programs. I have removed the 3 programs but don’t know how to put my PC right.
    Can anyone help.

    After uninstalling, you need to use a program like ccleaner to remove all traces of the programs. You should also run a scan for malware and spyware.

    Do you have programs that search for adware and malware? I use super anti spyware and advanced windows care to help keep my system clean.

    Consider using the built in System Restore if the problem occurred
    recently.
