    this doesn't have much to do with audio...next time post in appropriate forum.

    start the computer in safe mode (hit F8 when windows is loading.) The go to control panel and uninstall spy sweeper.

    Instead, install AdAware. It is hands down the best adware/spyware/malware remover there is, period. Spybot S&D Is good as well. Both are free. For viruses, I don't recommend McAfee either. That and Norton are both crap. Use AVG. Not only is it free, it is much much better than Norton or McAfee.

    apparently not that amazing if it screwed up windows and locks up the OS as it loads!
