First note

Mom+Computer=NOOB

My mom is really a new at PC's.

She finally got a Wireless Internet Card PCI. She just moved and got a old computer from her cousin.

It has Windows ME and I think that it has alot of viruses.

For Example.
When She opens IE she gets www.mysearchbar.com
Sometimes the screen goes black for a amount of time.

ok how do we fix that. She dosent have a fast connextion and I cant help her thru the phone because she explains to me weird things

Also she tries to Install MSN 7 but it says she cant install it because she dosent have IE 6. SO i sent her a emailo with the link to IE6 and i told her on the phone how to install. Well when she clicked download in IE she got a Runtime Error. And it closed IE.

So i told her to get firefox (which was already on the PC)

I told her to download the setup for IE onto her desktop with firefox.
No runtime error.
She opened the setup. Started installing it and when the instalation finished it said"instalation failed" and said some components werent installed. Then it told us to restart. So she did. But it was still IE 5.

So first question.
Viruses. How can I make her et rid of em the Noob way. She wont know how to use a Antivirus

MSN How do we install?

IE 6 how do we install?

Im going to her place in December so ill bring a XP CD.
Antivirus Progs
etc.

What should I bring for her for just a simple protection for her PC.

Because all she is going to do is look for a job on the net and go on hotmail to check her email and go onto MSN.

I think I missed something but I got to go to school now.
Will edit maybe later.
