I'm 90 percent sure this is some sort of spyware, but at random times an explorer window will pop up saying that Internet Explorer failed to load the site, at which point I click either OK or X it, and a Cannot display page comes up. I click back, and on some sites I'm fine. Others never want to load. I just want to make sure nothing I can actually fix is wrong before I reformat yet again.

I'd be happy to write up a few guides on things if you want some help.
Was actually going to write a slipstream/unattended install guide for another site on my day off this week, so maybe I'll cross post it.

well you can look for random processes that are out of place in TaskManager, or move to a better browser and see if that helps,

I've had this problem before. It may be what you're talking about. AdAware, and Spybot won't touch it.

well i followed ur advice sdm and found my messenger service already disabled. I did see something about firewall. Call me an idiot, but I don't know if it's enabled or not. Could someone tell me how to check? Because I sure do get a helluva lot more popups/junk than any of my friends do with the same internet and everything. Also, does enabling the firewall disrupt any online games? IE will it block me from getting into server etc?
