~Grumps~ Anyone ever have random stuff on their computer just.....stop working? Everything was fine yesterdaym but today Norton doesn't want to load, and I have to mess with WMP to get my MP3s to play. Plus when I try to view Internet page source code, it gives me a stupid 'cannot find path' error or something. I mean, since Norton doesn't want to open I thought I might have a virus but I don't know how to figure out if I do. :\

Oh, that's really easy. Easier if you're not on XP, actually, but still moderately easy with XP... Do Ctrl Alt Del and bring up your task manager to see what's running, then do a Google search on each one. If you got a virus and it's currently running, you'll find it soon enough. Then all you need to do is delete the files and remove the registry key so it can't come back next time you restart.

Try an online scan, I remember something about your problem...I had it before. But I forget what it was. >.< Sorry.

I dunno......I always have my dad either fix Norton or I just use the other computer if he's not home.
