Can anyone help me out? I have probbly gotten onto a wrong site when off to download Anti-Virus programs for my new computer, this one. As a result i got infected by over 50 virusses. Now most of them were trojans, so after completely reinstalling Windows with boot floppys (immediately after starting up my comp kept resetting itself..) and downlaoding lots of anti virus, this was pretty much te only problem remaining.
Oh, and my IExplorer homepage keep setting itself to something i dont want.

Now, even though i have quite some experience with computers, i think i can better let this be handled by the experts.
Can anyone inform me on what to run and such?
