i'm going to bet i need another fresh install of windows- it all started after i downloaded a crack. the crack never had any viruses or spyware, but its questionable. btw, the cracked program is uninstalled, yet the problem continues. so if anything, it hid in explrer.exe

believe me...it's worth the effort. there isn't that much like a fresh version of windows. its so fast. but then, as usual, it slows down in like 2-3 months
I just bought an external hd for my laptop so i can put everything on that and reinstall windows without much effort. very conveinent.
