    Well I'm back but didnt get very far!!
    Rebooted and kept pressing F8 and an old style DOS screen came up. Following options;
    Hard Disk
    CD ROM
    Can't remember the other one

    so I picked Hard Disk and the following options came up

    Ch2 M.: ST3160812AS
    Bootable Add-in Cards

    Didnt have a clue what to do so pressed F9 to EXIT!!!

    Any ideas what I should have done??

    You shouldnt really do this ~ but it should work
    Bootup until you see the XP flag screen
    Then cut the power

    Power up again and it should (hopefully) bring up the safe mode screen

    see if you can download Firefox in normal mode. Go to google type in Firefox click on the link or type it into the address bar if it will crash then download and install it.

    Tried that but I keep getting the 'Send' 'Don't send' error messages and it chucks me out everytime, even if I type the address in to the bar :confused:

    Can you download it on another computer and put it on a usb or a disc?
  • Sorry to but in, to get into safemode with networking try this..

    click start then run
    type msconfig then click OK
    click on the tab BOOT.INI
    now tick /safeboot and then network
    now click OK restart your PC

    you can complete the instructions that aliEnRIK gave you now.

    type msconfig then click OK
    click on the tab BOOT.INI
    remove tick in /safeboot
    click OK and restart

    Download FIREFOX
    http://www.mozilla-europe.org/en/firefox/

    Did you RESET INTERNET EXPLORER as explained above?
    if not ~ please do so now

    Try Explorer out. If it doesnt work try out Firefox to see if that works

    Let me know how it goes

    Then run Malwarebytes and SAS (posted in my 1st post)
