Back everything up and Image restore. It will go back to the way it was when you got it.

You mean to say you emptied out the entire hard drive, reinstalled the OS and came back to the exact same problem?  Hahaha

You should make sure the toolbar isn't on autohide.  And probably install ad block and spyware doctor.

I'm not sure why your computer hates you. Have you been abusing it?

Format your computer.

and how do I do that?

You have to make sure you have all your master cd's. Your Windows XP cd, drivers cd, and Application cd (if your computer came with one). Formatting your compute completely takes everything off of your computer, including the viruses your computer is infected with. You need those cd's to install everything back on your computer. If you have all those cd's, then I can give you a website that tells you how or write down the steps for you. Also, you might want to burn all your files you want on a cd.

You said in the OP that you already reformatted yoru computer.  

Anyway, that does suck. I've had to reformat my computer before, and I swear it ran MORE slowly than when I had all my gunk, junk, and random crap stored on it.

Or frightened (Eeek!), or mad (Rats!)

I did, but I wasn't sure if, reformatting, and formatting was the same thing, I thought after you reformated it, you had to do something TO format it ?
