    Use Firefox and get CWShredder. I also recommend SpySweeper for standard spyware protection.

    Turn off that useless system restore then try again.

    just a thought but i believe that HP computers come with the operating system on a partition (my dads did)..Saves them from giving you the disc(sucks)..Goto the hp website and do a search...Be careful if his initial os was xp and he upgraded to xpsp1..You may need to download a patch from HP before you restore to the original os..hope this helps

    yes, compaq and hp have a "recovery" partition (some of em anyway)
    pretty easy to spot...
    just open up my computer and look at the installed drives
    mine, for example, was D: PRESARIO_RP (RP stands for recovery partition)

    but...
    its shit if you dont want all the bundled shit that comes with an OEM pc
    and it hogs up like 5 gigs of space
    better to burn the recovery discs and delete the partition
    (using the recovery discs works just the same as using the partition)
    you just get around 5 gigs of extra storage to work with
    only thing is it also restores all the bunlded crap

    but that is a legit way of going about it, one way anyhow
    I am just a worthless liar. I am just an imbecile.
    I will only complicate you. Trust in me and fall as well.
    I will find a center in you. I will chew it up and leave.
    I will work to elevate you just enough to bring you down.
