Programs not wanting to display

[Ross H]

I have done system restore and can not get mainly my norton anti-v and firewall to display. They will display then dispair. Have removed and reloaded application with same result. Some other programs do the same. ie i tried to run msconfig but window keeps
disappearing.

You have issues, Ross. Start here:

This behavior can be caused by a virus. One of three:

W32.Spybot.Worm
