Please see my answer to your original post. The bottom line is that you
must get your computer cleaned up. If you can't do it yourself or don't
have the time or inclination, take it to a professional. There is no
way around this. From your description above, I would say that you
would get the best results by taking the machine to someone.

Good luck,
