[Why Syzygy]

Let me just link some information that's already been posted. You'll find what you need. I'm on an unusual schedule today.

I would recommend installing one of the anti virus programs mentioned in these links. There's also one about uninstalling Norton. (You can add it back later if you decide to.) Install the two spyware programs I mention above. Some are advising running in safe mode. I haven't resorted to that. If you know how to do safe mode, might as well. If not, do what you can any way. You'll need to run more than one program to make sure you get everything. Until you know what the infection is, general instructions are all that can be done. Spybot has a very good support forum, as well.
