Ok so I got this virus, a trojan I think, and it was typing crap in at any cursor prompt it could find. Telling me to go to some site. Well I got rid of it quickly with go-back... luckily... I think. Neither my Norton or my AVG could get rid of it, which ticked me off. And I couldn't find any mention of the files that Norton was telling me were infected on the internet. Basically Google had never heard of it, which is crazy...

Ok so anyway, I only have a small lingering problem. My taskbar font is HUGE. When I hold my cursor over things running all the time, like norton, or over a quicklaunch icon, and the pop-up description comes up, its massive! This is unacceptable. Either I fix this somehow or re-format. I'd rather do the former... I think the virus overwrote a font for the taskbar. Anybody know how to fix this? I've tried everything on the appearance tab in the display properties and nothing... Pleeease help me fix this, I don't want to re-format!

Have you tried restoring your computer to an earlier time beforeyou got the virus? Do you have a tool bar button that says PC Health. If you do run it and it will get rid of the virus and correct any problems your computer may have.

I will suggest that you boot from windows OS disc and repair your OS...
