Alright, I just want to reiterate that I only started
having problems after installing IIS. NOTHING else has
caused my computer to behave strangely. I am just trying
to think logically....if NOTHING and I mean NOTHING else
has caused the computer to act strangely, then by process
of elimination, the only process which has consistently
caused a problem (installing IIS) must be the source of
the problem. I have always kept up to date on all the
patches for Windows and Norton, so I decided it was most
likely not a virus. But, just to placate everyone, I
installed the MSBlast Patch and the Norton Antivirus
definitions and their removal tool. I ran all of them
and no viruses showed up.
