Spyware? Out of disk space? Norton out-of-date? Could be any number of things. (Although not having a working task manager sure limits your diagnostic possibilities.)
Booting into safe mode might be a good way to get things done diagnostically. If things don't work there, you might really be in trouble. At the worst, though, you ought to be able to back up your data and restore from a disk. (Which sounds like a reasonable option given where you're at at this point.)
(Although, with respect to Norton, sometimes the cure is as bad as the disease. If you do restore, maybe give the AVG a try...)

okay... i can get the internet to work... somewhat... but not much else. my network folders? open and freeze... ms word? i've tried twice now... to no avail... i did a Norton scan, and i'm virus-free... so WHAT THE HELL IS GOING ON???
oh, and what do you do when your task manager stops responding? haha.
I think I'm going to give up on technology for the rest of the night and start again early tomorrow... but I need to have a presentation together for my supervisor. aaaaa!

oh... my... god... could my computer be functioning any more slowly?
hey, anyone know what's wrong when you boot up, get the main screen of your compy and can't interact with anything? happened to me twice today... the third time, i could play minesweeper! and... once, I only got as far as to log in and sit there with the friendly windows blue screen and login icon 'please wait while windows configures your settings' or whatever...
what is wrong with my laptop?? :(
it was working fine two days ago, when I last used it. and no one else can use it unless they know my password (network requirement) help!

For Beck and Keri, specifically, and for everyone else who doesn't have a family physician, generally, I strongly recommend the College of Physicians and Surgeons of Alberta website. They have a directory you can search for general practitioners as well as specialists. I'm surprised they don't more generally advertise this service, but it seems like an important tool.

Here's your list of the known cylons, but I filled in some the names:
1. the "6" models (Baltar's Blonde, Caprica 6)
2. D'Ana Biers: the "3" models (galactica news reporter, suicidal XENA, Lucy Lawless)
3. the "Sharon" models (Sharon Agathon, Sharon "Boomer" Valerii)
4. Priest on Galactica (Al from Quantum Leap)
5. Black doctor on Caprica
6. Arms Dealer/guy in suit
7. Leoben Conoy (Guy on New Caprica that tried to make Starbuck fall in love with him)
8. Tory (the president's aide, that brown chick)
9. Colonel Saul Tigh (the one-eyed wonder, the "X/O"- executive officer)
10. Chief Galen Tyrol
11. Samuel Anders ((ex?)husband to starbuck)

Nope, you've got them all, Beck. I don't know what those chicks in the hot-tub who control cylon ships and speak gibberish are supposed to be, but I don't think they count as cylons for some reason. I think that model falls into the same category as a cylon Raider which is a living thing, but is more of a functional unit than a person.
But yeah, so your list has 11 cylons, which is the complete list of cylons that have been revealed to us thusfar. But we know there are supposed to be 12 cylon models. SO WHO'S THE TWELFTH??? I think they want you to suspect Kara Thrace, but I'm not sure if she is or not. Also, if Chief Tyrol is a cylon, that means Hera isn't the only halfbreed baby anymore!!! Part of me wonders if Rosalyn is a cylon since she shares dreams with Sharon Agathon (as opposed to Boomer/Sharon Valenti) and Caprica 6... but then again, a cylon blood transfusion cured her cancer... so that can't be right. But if her cancer is back, why doesn't she take another transfusion? I hate that bitch anyway. She's stupid. And why did Felix Gaeta lie when testifying at Baltar's case? I thought Gaeta was better than that, but I guess he's a fucktard just like the president.
As well, how come the final five are revealed to the model 3 in the temple? There were supposed to be 5 priests in that temple who were from the original immigrants on the way to the 13th colony (earth)... wtf? And how come there are 12 colonies and 12 cylons? And why is there a mysterious 13th colony (being earth) and when they're in the Opera House there's SIX banners of light!? Does that mean the Final Five PLUS a sixth god-like human/cylon being that correlates to the 13th colony!!!??? I DON'T KNOW. SO MANY QUESTIONS!!!
AND MOST IMPORTANTLY: BOOMER AND TYROL SHOULD HAVE HOOKED UP IN THE FIRST PLACE AND FUCKED ALL DAY AND NOT NEEDED ANY CONTRACEPTIVE BECAUSE CYLONS CAN'T HAVE BABIES!!!

I might be really off base with this but wasn't Baltar suspected of being one of the missing cylon models?
