WHAT SHOULD I DO NOW?>?>??? should i do a system restore? or is there a better way to get rid of the problem? cheers...

    Un-install the offending program. Go safe mode and do a system restore.

    will a system restore in safe mode wipe everything off my PC?

    No it won't. It will only restore the settings in your registry to the date that you believe your computer was working fine. All the personal data should be preserved the way it was.

    Only thing that will happen is that any software you installed past the restoration date will probably need to re-installed in order to work.
