I have recently recieved a laptop from my mothers friend who doesnt know jack about computers. It runs windows 2000 prof. My mom said that her friend thinks its infected with a virus. It was running Norton 2002 when I got it, so I uninstalled that and installed Norton 2003. Now my problem is that after installation Auto Protect wasnt enabled. When I go to Enable it it closes. Then I restarted it and it told me that a virus was trying to edit the Anti virus settings in the registry. When I open Noroton it closes on its own sometimes too. Also msconfig doesnt work for some reason. She thinks its the Bugbear virus. I ran some W32 bugbear removal program but it said "No Virus Detected". Well this is where I am at.

Any Suggestions? Any web sites u guys might know of that I can do a scan or some kind of countermeasures. Would appreciate any comments as long as there to the point, plz no replys about reinstalling. Ive done the basics. Thanx
