Ok heres the deal, i know for a fact i must have like 1000 spyware crap attached to my system, Iv got a brand new e machine with xp on it, i used it foolishly downloading things off of kaaza and i fear that i have done something i shouldnt have. I can connect yes, but i cant go to any pages, none... ziltch...

Can tons and tons of spyware mess up your connections with the internet and keep you from being able to visit other pages?

Im not familiar with xp very much, i havent messed with it alot, but can i use my restore disc and whipe all the sh*t out and start over? or reformatt the hard drives?
