Yes post back using proper punctuation, capitalisation and sentences. I am
/not/ going to even attempt to decipher that. If you wish people to assist
you at least help yourself by adhering to the basic nuances of written
English.

Run a complete virus/trojan/worm scan on each computer. Run Ad-Aware
and Spybot to remove adware and other stuff. Do basic Disk Cleanup and
Defrag. Lock down user rights on the computers and password protect the
BIOS and Administrator accounts.
