Everythings a [*.lnk] after Anti-Spy downloads

July 16, 2007

Everybody, and Anybody,

HELP!! I've been plagued with Errors [Runtime, MSIMN.exe, "Unexplained",

etc.] slow-downs, and crashes for weeks.

Running Windows 200-Professional, w/IE6, OE6, and receiving MS/Windows

Automatic Updates. I've hunted to no avail to download real MS

Anti-V/Anti-Spy Programs that will work on my "LOWLY Win2000". Last night,

and into the early A.M., I tried several "Third-Party" set-ups for this type

of program. One said that I was infested with dozens (no exageration) of

Viruses[virii ?], Trojan Horses, etc. which could only be contained and

erraticated with thier "Full" purchased pack.

I tried to UNinstall that from my PC, and it was stubborn.

I found that hard to believe, because I'd just run the MS/Windows Live

OneCare Protection/Clean-up/Tune-up, and was assured that everything on my PC

was FINE.

I followed this up with launching the indwelling "Error Check", Clean,

Defrag, on the Windows System in my PC.

Then I downloaded AVG 7.5 Anti-Malware/Virus/Spyware Pack, for a 30-day

Free Trial run. It says that it found, and isolated to V-Vault [but can't

"HEAL"] SEVEN Trojan Horses!!!! [MS Central found none]

Ever since this A.M. ALL-LL-lll-llll of the programs run sluggishly, and

are now named with a curious [*.lnk] at the end of each. Even in the Start

window, the Microsoft and Windows Update programs are labelled, *.lnk.

Please, somebody figure this out.
