wimpy

Please help me, I'm a Mac person who converted to PC a few days ago, it's sick already.

I've run adaware and spybot and norton 2000, all with updated virus definitions.

ZoneAlarm Pro and Norton are running.

I'd run cwshredder but stuffit expander won't work unless I buy it.

I have been checking links on CJ sites, no doubt I picked up the clap.

Windows XP.

Symptoms are that browser basicly doesn't work. Click a link and nothing happens. Internet connection is still there, other apps work. Same behavior both IE and Mozilla. Machine can be extremely slow with any app.

I never set the control panel > performance & maintenance system "goback" function, so that's not an option.

What's the golden software for this sort of thing? I'll gladly pay a few bucks.

I"d also like a good hardware firewall for a small home office with 5 computers.

Any recommendations?

Thanks.
