[AT] Starting over

You'll probably have to resort to a registry edit or go to McAfee.com, Symantec.com
or Trend Micro.com and search for the specific viruses you mentioned. Then you can
download tools to rid your system of that specific problem. If there are no tools,
then there may be instructions on how to get rid of them manually. Good luck, these
can be pretty tough sometimes.

P.S. Try Mozilla instead of IE.
