To follow up, I did a system restore in safe mode & everything is
working again hip, hip

Hi,

Doing a repair install (or in-place upgrade) will not remove a virus or
trojan. You need to either concentrate on actually removing the malware or
backup data and start with a clean install.

Start with cleanup tools from malwarebytes.org and superantispyware.

Thanks Rick
I have used malwarebytes, Nod 32 AV, & Spybot
malware & Spybot found & removed one item each
I have also re-activated system restore in the registry, but it is
still not working, and office says it is not on the computer
I tried to re-install, but it failed!

It looks like I've got the opportunity to go back to XP
