here is a link to SpyBot Search & Destroy. Download and install this program, then open, read the info, then run SB S&D..it sounds like you have either a virus, or a spyware/malware/or highJacker..one thing about doing a System Restore, is that if you did have any kind of worm,virus, etc
., but did not get Every Single Part of it removed, a Restore will bring it all back.

in the 24 minutes that I have been online my computer has sent 12,500,000
bytes and received 5,500,000 bytes without me being able to connect to a
single web page

Your computer is well and truely infected

Since you can't get to a web page and your antivirus won't run, the
only way *I* see to fix this is a boot disk and the FORMAT command
(or, boot off the XP CD and do the same thing)

Once you have a clean hard drive and reinstall everything, steps you
need to take BEFORE you connect to the Internet again

1-install and use a firewall
2-install and use an antivirus

Did all of this internet hijacking occur while your computer was connected
to a firewall ? Jym
