>Hi Suzanne I have a similar problem! If you look 1 page
a head you will see my postings. Nortons fixklez gets
altered the moment i download it on my computer! The
updates that are supposed to be installed are not really
installed and i believe the virues fakes running nt
instead of xp on my computer. the only one that worked
half way was housecalls fixklez, to realise that i relly
have it, but it could not fix the problem, and trying to
run it a second time my downloaded files were altered in
that fix too. i believe this one simulates between xp and
nt tricking the fixes to search for the files in the
wrong areas. read my post and let me know if you have
similar issues!!! i have not used my email in 2 weeks,
because i do not want to cause any harm to anyone else!
