The other day I reformated my computer. I got a professional to do it, because last time I did it, I pretty much destroyed it. The main reason was because a trojan horse virus became attached to the file, C:\Windows\TEMP\SE.DLL. From what I get from it, that seems to be a file that starts up programs, like internet explorer, or even opening folders. The other day, these viruses got back on my computer. I have AVG Virus Scanner, and whenever that file error pops up about C:\Windows\TEMP\SE.DLL, it says that there was a virus detected. It asks if I could heal it, or put it in the vault, but it says before I do that, that it could make my system stop working properly.

I tried using system restore to fix my computer, but it seems like nothing happened. I have Windows ME, that's what he put on it. I heard it wasn't too good, but the same thing happened with my Windows 98. Also, my computer is not good enough or able to have Windows XP, so that can't be done.

What I need to do, is how can I fix this without having to reformat the computer, again. I don't think he'll charge me this time around, but I really want another fix. Another annoying problem is everytime I go into hotmail, and different other sites like yahoo, it automatically switches to about:blank. It's also stuck in my homepage thing in tool and options. Everytime I try to take it out, it just puts it back in. How can I get rid of this about:blank page?

And one more question. This is the same trojan horse virus that was attached to my computer the last time. Does it have anything to do with my IP address maybe. Please help!
