    --» don't forget to unable your antivirus temporally before online scanning

    Safe Mode Bootup

    =============

    Try this, its easy and will not harm anything

    Slowly tap the F8 key while the computer is powering up

    Just after the screen goes blank, the F8 key will point the computer to a menu where safe mode can be selected.

    Note if you mistakenly tap F8 key again, it will continue through to normal boot

    Scroll and select last known good configuration.

    This is stronger than doing a system restore in normal mode. See list..

    Wait till the boot has finished before clicking anything.

    (System restore is the first line of restoration.

    The second line is last good configuration.

    The third line is system restore in safe mode.

    The fourth line is repair from your disk recovery console.

    The fifth line is a delete partition with clean install).

    For messenger to work, do this to IE7

    IE7

    =======

    Over time IE7 seems to set its own (or programs do) tick boxes in the advance tab.

    In IE7 Tools >Internet Options >Advance Tab

    Click Restore advance settings defaults button.

    Then scroll the listings down to near the bottom and:

    Tick empty temp files when browser closes (this empties the cache, which if not empty, will stop you from going online).

    Bullet disable phishing filter (optional. Leave it on if you want that type of protection, usually for financial data like internet banking)

    Delete Browser History, cookies, add ons, the whole lot regularly.

    Close the browser to set the settings.
