Answer 1

hi

Ouchh , thats a spyware/virus my friend , first run a scan on the pc then open control panel and there you will see the internet options too , use that one IF the IE is having problems

Answer 2

I have a mac, so I go to the left Conner and pick apple and go to system preferences I choose dock it will tell you the size and if you want it to hide or show.Like automatically hid and show the dock unchecked. If that doesn't do it. Go to view on top of screen and choose VIEW then check status bar.

Answer 3

If its a virus you need to get rid, then block it in future.
Switch off System Restore as back up files may be hiding in there, and it will just restore itself. Go to Start - programs - accessories - system tools - system restore.
Run your anti virus and anti spyware in Safe Mode. To get into Safe Mode repeatedly press the F8 key after the bios screen loads but before Windows loads. You'll know if you made it because the screen will be at 800 x 600 and your pc will be slow.

Then beef up your security. Its easier to prevent malware getting on to your sytem in the first place rather than trying to remove it. All the following programs are free for home use;

You need to install one firewall.
