So there was some virus thing that got caught on my computer called "Downloader" that was summarily executed. Huzzah.
However, now Internet Explorer and Microsoft Office are sort of on the fritz. Whenever they open, they try (twice in IE's case and three times for Excel) to install themselves again. If I hit cancel until they stfu, they work fine. If I don't, they ask for the Microsoft Small Business Office 2003 disk. If I give them said disk, they happily plug away until they decide that would be too easy and demand some other Windows XP disk that I don't have.
When I manually go into the MS Office disk I have and try to install Excel (for instance) fresh, it fails with a general "Error" message.
Hpel?
