Yesterday, I tried to connect to the internet and IExplorer did nothing. It highlighted the icon, but that was all. When I went to check for any Virus' with Norton System works, it SAID that the "integrator" could not be found? (this does not happen everytime, most of the time nothing happens)Symantec says that for this code;remove and reinstall norton system works....i did that and still not working. I did notice a few things along the way of shutting down and restarting my computer: when started, the desktop looks fine, then I tried to OPEN norton system works. In doing this, none of my programs can be VIEWED from the "All programs" list from the START button. Also, It causes my icons to disappear from the CONTROL panel?

Mind you, I can access the internet only when the computer is started and initated before all of the start-up programs begin....
Please help!!!...Sounds like you have spyware/virus problems.

You don't say what operating system you're using.  If it's XP, can you go and do a system restore to an earlier date?

If not, boot into SafeMode and run a virus & spyware scan.  You DO have these, right?  Keep them updated and run on a regular basis, right?
