nothing going on in applications other than ie, processes have a bunch of stuff but hey, it works, i am happy, i learned something, all is good, thanks everyone.

Make sure you immunize it to protect yourself from further attacks. I find many people who do not know about immunize.. It is on the left side..
When you click it you should get a screen that says all known products are blocked. Make sure you have 2 green check marks.. If you don't then click on the immunize at the top of the screen..
If you keep this program updated it will prevent just about everything (spyware) from attacking your pc.

As a side note, if youre a little computer savy and carefull about what you download, where you go on the web, etc you can avoid spyware. I have several scanners and since i did the last format (sometime in '06) i still havent had any spyware. When it comes to viruses, i dont recall ever having one except for when i had windows 3.1 (I think thats what it was called, the one before windows '95).

I think at first when the norton programs came out a ways back (pre win 95 i think) it was a good one. Eventually it turned into the biggest p.o.s ive ever used. I am not exagerating.
This is the first time ive ever heard a positive review of that program.
