Something Aint Quite Right?

Question

Hi Guys, Could do with some help,  I am running XP SP2 on a Latitude D505.  I have a corpoate Norton which updates, instals and scans no problem.  I also have Spyware Doctor which does the same.  After visiting some less salubrious web sites my computer started doing some funny things: For a while (days) norton would shut down, or when I closed my lid without logging out and then reopened have the start up Icons disappeared.  I did a few system restalls, downloaded and ran SpyBot and Adware which found a couple of things but left me still with some nagging problems and this is where I am at.  The lid down thing is still a problem so I have to shut down and start up each time.  My quick launch tbar will now only let me have 3 icons the start up shut down thing is still a problem and I am not sure if I have any thing lurking in the background. Any help would be gratefully recieved Cheers ITDM

i think the best way to find out what is wrong with your computer to to take a look at your pc's hijackthis log. so run HijackThis and show your log for us.
