Joker,

There is a lot of information that I'll need to get from you before I can give you an intelligent answer on this.
Your problem is one of those things that is a lot easier to work with if the computer is sitting right in front of me.
Trying to fix problems like this over the net can be very time consuming and troublesome.

PM me if you still haven't got it working and I'll see what I can do to help.
I'm getting ready to leave for work tonight, but I'll check back in when I have a moment.

Here is what I need to know for starts......

1. What was the name of the file you tried to install that you think killed your system?
2. Did you re-format your system or just do a system restore?
3. When your system boots up, what processes are running?
4. Are you currently using that system to contact us now or on another system.

This is sounding a lot like a virus that sets up a rootkit in the boot sector of the hard drive.
If it is, you're looking at a TOTAL reformat of the hard disk in order to get rid of this little nasty.
You'll have to do a full format and not just a quick format.

Let's start with the four questions first and then go from there.

S!
