OK.

It sounds like you have some significant system corruptions, maybe as a result of the virus?

One option is to perform a clean install of your system, which is guaranteed to fix everything in one go.

If you feel you want to go down that path eventually, then have a look at this:

Post back if you need more clarification or would like some guidance with that.

dman,

I agree with Goldern's assessment and recommenation.

dman,
Sounds very good.

I recommend that immediately after installing that you install MSE, Microsoft Security Essentials, to protect your system against malware.

Link for MSE is in my signature.

Carry out this procedure on both your computer and your sons, however, you really should put WDO onto a USB on a clean system and then take the stick to his computer and to yours.
