I cannot run Spybot to disable it. All of the programs were run in safe mode. I'll see if Spybot can be disabled in safe mode. Superantispyware was not tried, i'll try it. Firefox will not run. Chrome runs but some sites i go to get blocked with a message about the site being unsafe. One of the blocked sites is the Spyware Removal page of Networktechs.com.

This started after an email forwarded from another person's mailbox. the link in the email was not opened but when the email was opened there was strange behavior (according to the user) and the computer started acting weird.

The machine has 1 gig of memory. I don't now how much disk space is available. I'll check it later today.
