From the spyware removal thread:
Step 2: Scan your computer for viruses and trojans that can prevent the spy removal tools from working. It is best to use the online virus scanners in this thread regardless of what antivirus programs are installed on your computer. If I could count the number of times I have heard someone say " My computer has antivirus protection built-in so i don't need the online scanner" only to try it and find multiple trojans and infections on their computer.
Here's the problem: I cannot use the program for internet explorer, because that crashes every time I go to a new webpage. I cannot use the program for netscape (which I downloaded for the specific purpose of running that program) because it says it cannot find my plugins directory (despite me trying to tell it every directory related to Netscape within my Program Files folder).

I've already tried all the basic stuff for my sound (re-installing drivers, make sure it's plugged in, etc.), and after TrojanHunter finishes scanning I am going to restart my computer. I just deleted my sound card from Device Manager, so when Windows starts back up, I'll let it download and install everything over again.

I'll be back with an update once I restart my computer.
