Things used to be fine. The only thing that I have found since this started to happen was some malware.

In any case, the workgroup here at home used to have all three PCs on it. Now the PC with a problem is no longer appearing there. In addition, when trying to load Citrix apps from the server at work, thet fail to load. Also, several FTP programs were tried and no luck.

Is this something that can be fixed? Do I back up my drive and hose it down? I could do a fresh install of XP, but I still want to know what's causing this, so I'll know the next time.

Any clues here?
