      Actually, I blamed my father in law at first and lectured him on deleting his history, not downloading any ActiveX, etc. Whenver my tenant does a google search now, it finds porn and shows photos. No matter what she looks for

      Lucky tenant! :-D Why don't you try disabling the suspicious BHO entries with the help of HijackThis? I've fixed similar problems (more than once) at my neighbors place.

        I felt the safest thing was to just reinstall.

          yes, indeed. Most of her other searches were not lounge friendly. At 10.

              My nephew spent the weekend at ours, and being a teenage boy he is basically nocturnal. So when we went to bed, he stayed up playing on the internet. I thought I had a fair idea of what he would be doing, looking at picture of "models" and that sort of thing. Boy was I wrong! Turns out he was trying to download software to crack the activation of some software he's downloaded at home. Cheeky little sod. In the morning, he sheepishly tells me that he thinks my computer has a virus called avast, telling me that this virus popped up a message on the screen telling him that the software he was running (called crack.exe) had a virus - "that can't be right can it Uncle?". Oh boy, here we go. It took me two ours to get into Windows on Sunday morning, and twelve hours to let avast run a through scan and clean up the mess he's made. I could throttle the little git. I've finally got the system back up and running, with only two small problems. When you click your name to load your profile, the 'loading your personal settings' screen appears and takes around 4 minutes to complete, and when shutting down it takes around six minutes. There's nothing untoward in the event viewer logs, just the normal services, and I'm having little luck finding out what the OS could be doing during these periods on MSDN and google. Can anyone point me towards a guide as to what the machine could be doing during these periods so I can try to speed it up?

              Funny, I used to be just like that, but I was clever and ran every unknown executable under an account called "Sandbox" (with privledges more restricted than Guest).

              So the creationist says: Everything must have a designer. God designed everything. I say: Why is God the only exception? Why not make the "designs" (like man) exceptions and make God a creation of man?

                      We don't have children but when our friends drag theirs around we *always* lock down every computer in the house and password protect the lot and declare them off bounds under threat of extreme prejudice. A kid is like a bomb to any computer.

                          I have actually found that keeping a Virtual PC image around for guests that need to use the internet solves a lot of these problems. Once the image is the way you want it, you can enable undo disks so it always returns to a 'pristine' when they are finished. Its easy to create a shortcut on start menu that will launch VPC for whatever configuation you have setup as your 'guest usage' system.
