Yesterday a number of warnings came up on my computer about spyware, saying i had 52 threats?! i think it happened because i downloaded some programme of the internet. it told me that my personal information was at risk etc. So, I bought an anti-spyware programme of the internet called Winspycontrol for £40 but it doesn't seemed to have worked. It took about 3 hours to scan the whole computer and when it got to 100% it didn't remove the spyware. Now it freezes about 32%. My computer is so slow, keeps freezing and some things don't come up at all. I'm going to bring it to a computer expert to help me but i can't go for another few days. Will my computer be ok if i remove the enthernet wire so there is no internet connection to the computer?? Does sypware only corrupt and take info if the internet is on? Will it be ok to leave if for a few days? i'm really worried!!

A majority of my desktop icons now has a red dot in the bottom left hand corner, which has never been there before. Also my folders have the same red dot.

I have made a Txt file on my desktop, and call it Test.txt.

If I right click on it and say Open With then find my program, I want my program to know the directory and filename of the txt I just opened with. EG. C:\Documents and Settings\user name\Desktop\Test.txt

How do I make my program learn that? Obviously, I would do it to different files.

And if possible, (Or is this too much) If I open with on a shortcut, can it tell my program not itself but the shortcut it is pointing to.
