Windows Me was the worst thing created. Switch to something else if possible.

LOL, golden.

Seriously OP, that computer should be able to handle Win2K. Of course if you already have the recovery disks with ME (Most Erratic) on it, then you can't argue with free. Then again Linux is free as well, and it pretty much beats ME like a red-headed M$ programmer.
 
If it's just for family use (web surfing, email, word processing) and they're not playing games, why not make your life easier and install Linux?

are you sure norton isn't the virus it's self and it just self destructed? No but seriously, get a real antivirus scanner like kaspersky which is IMO absolutely fabulous. Had a virus runniing around my network, installed norton, security updates, updated norton and everything, attached the computer to the network to scan other computers, the "clean computer" got infected and had norton disabled. Installed kaspersky and it wiped the network clean of the virus.

What is a virus? said the Mac user.

Don't start. It's only because Windows owns the market.

And conceptually, Macs can't be infected... but there's a lot of debate both ways.
 
You can't use System Restore to get rid of a virus. You have to DISABLE it otherwise the virus can return through System Restore.
