You are most likely experiencing a virus that is staying
in your memory. What you need to do is completely shut
down your computer, insert the WRITE PROTECTED klez
removal disk, and restart your computer. When it boots up,
clean the system, then shut it down. Since you already got
hit by the virus I recommend doing a clean install. Boot
into your system again with a boot disk. You will need
commands such as format, fdisk ...etc. From the boot
prompt type fdisk /mbr . Then continue on :)
