Drop the box into safemode with networking and then do an upgrade to the AV program. Also, download Lavasoft's Adaware. I had to fight a spyware issue on my in-laws computer. Quick rundown of steps taken: -Reboot into networked safe mode. Upgrade AV program. -download and install Lavasoft's adaware -reboot into safe mode (non-networked) and do full AV scan/clean -reboot into safe mode again -Run Adaware and fix/delete everything it lists -reboot and should be okay I've found that PestScan and Spybot are completely worthless.
