Oh, gawd! "I even reinstalled ME" - is NOT recommended procedure, and almost
certainly means that you now have more problems than you started with
(especially if you reinstalled from the CD).

Did you also do a check for spyware?
You may already have a virus/spyware hijack

download the Stinger from here and run it to make sure that A-V-disabling
viruses are not present on your PC

- update your virus scanner and run a full system scan of all files.

Reboot to Safe Mode and run CWShredder - to remove variants of the
CoolWebSearch hijacker.

Use CWShredder, the removal tool:

download AdAware SE Personal Edition from www.lavasoftusa.com, install,
update, and run it to remove spyware, adware, and other such nasties from
your system.

I have been using Windows ME.I was foolish enough to download and open a
crack for zonealarm.When I tried to open the zip file,the computer
froze.It
started working after reboot but is very slow and locks up of&on.I checked
for virus infection but there was none.What do I do now?I even reinstalled
ME
but problem persists
