    You/ve lost me too ....
    I'm guessing that you went to Safe Mode with Command Prompt and ran %systemroot%\system32\restore\rstrui.exe Am I right?

    You are quite right in your assumption that it is appears to be a software problem - unless it is an intermittent hardware problem, hopefully not :)

    Just seen Christer's post - suggest you try Comodo - free and one of the best. I use it on 2 computers to date and waiting for the Vista compatible version (soon) for my Vista box.

    Hi Pete, yes I did exactly what you said. System Restore has so far got me back to good. PC is booting and I'm loading software little by little and everything seems fine. I guess I might try COMODO but so far Sygate Firewall has been okay but kinda quirky. I will give yours and Christers recomendation a try Comodo. So for now things seem quiet on home front. Many, many thanks for everything that you people on this great board have done for me.
