i got a few questions. didn't wanna clog up the board so i mashed them all in one thread
[1 : spyware]
on a friend's computer, spyware messed it up pretty bad. not even ad-aware could undo the damage. under internet settings, a lot of the boxes are "greyed out", so the home page and a lot of other options are stuck (Screen 1 | Screen 2)
does anyone know what we can do to get rid of this crap?
other than to fix his home page, the main reason he wants ie to be fixed is so he can update the codecs to windows media player. it won't let him change the settings because of that. i was thinking of reinstalling internet explorer, but i'll probably save that as a final resort
[2 : windows media player playlist]
i'm using wmp (8.0 i think) for winxp, and every time i play a playlist (music, movies, or an audio cd), it always plays it on random. i've searched almost everywhere and i don't know how to set it on back "normal"
[3 : Japanese-American shirt size difference]
does anyone know if there's a difference of size between Japanese and American clothes (particularly, shirts)? in the PI, a large is an American medium (or something like that), so i'm wondering if the size difference is about the same in Japan
many thanks in advance

1) NO. Ad-Aware does not work. Please reread the rules and try again.
2) awesome power. i searched every detail in options but overlooked the fucking play menu. i probably pressed ctrl-h by accident
3) i agree!
well, you fixed wmp, but due to your lack of comprehension, you get no pictures of our fat Iori user. i will, however, send you several images of Cher that i downloaded, thanks to a link from sabo10

1) i had a feeling it was embedded in the registry. we'll try those two out and see what happens from there. maybe i can dig up that page that has an alphabetical list of registry components and their uses
2) the problem's been fixed but i should update manually anyways. the thing keeps bugging me to update, then enjoys crashing during the update to show me who's king of the neighborhood
3) you must know that Duo Lon's teleport was forged by Lucifer himself

1) dinner spoons and cars are irrelevant, but points for guessing today's word of the day and secret word of the day

Try running Ad-Aware, Spybot, and HijackThis, just as Daala suggested. I would suggest using all three of them in sequence, because some spyware can regenerate themselves to some degree and you wouldn't want the bits of spyware that Ad-Aware covered to regenerate themselves and slip by. It may seem ridiculous, but a ridiculous degree of thoroughness has worked well for me in the past.
If that doesn't work, try doing the whole thing over again in Safe Mode. I would've suggested using Safe Mode from the start, but I don't have too much experience with SpyBot or any at all with HijackThis, so I don't know if either of them would act strangely in Safe Mode.
You should also probably run some antivirus software, because if Ad-Aware didn't cover a piece of spyware, then there's a chance that it could be a trojan that just looks like spyware. Ad-Aware does miss some little bits of spyware on occasion, but only very rarely.
And if all that doesn't work, then there are other things that you can do, but they require a much longer explanation.
