yes, multiple problems:

1. my homepage keeps getting changed to "about:blank"
2. a popup to a casino site is tied into this, everytime i open ie this popup appears.
3. after a while of using my computer, the desktop is no longer clickable. meaning i cannot click on any icons, but i get the generic right-click menu (sort icons, etc.).

4. possibly not associated with the previous problems: i cannot open windows media player. there are no error messages, running processes, or any indication taht the program opened except a system noise (the chime you get with an error message). the program is still installed and all associations with it are still intact (i.e. file extension associations).

I really hate to bother you guys with this, but i thought you might like a puzzle that's causing much frustration. regarding the spyware symtoms of problems 1 through 3, i have used adaware and three other minor spyware removal programs. i also have a popup blocker that has been unable to defeat the casino site popup also. hope you guys can help me!
