Hi again Wynford.

Do you have all those anti spyware apps running constantly on youre pc , or do you only manually scan with them?

It is not recommended to use multiple anti spyware apps at the same time , or they will conflict with each other , and cause performence problems. You should only have one running all the time , but you can manually scan with as many as you want.


And to check for malware , please follow the instructions in the "Prework" link below and post the 2 resulting log files , then i'll have a look at those.

I manually scan with them I was told tht one might pick up what others might miss ,and I have found that to be so. wynford 400. thank you

That shouldn't be the problem then if you use them manually. And you are right , one might pick up what others might miss indeed.

Did you also see this part? Because even with all the apps you use , there is still a good change that there is something that they all miss.

Logfile of HijackThis v1.99.1

I think I have done what was asked If it is wrong I am sorry, what I can see, I have put the hijack log in twice hoping it makes sense to you wynford 400:cry:

No real prob , but attaching the log was enough. Can you also attach the Ewido log?

First have a look in add remove programs for "Netmeter" and uninstall it if present there.

Then boot in safemode (hit f8 when booting up) and fix these with hjt:

And then delete the folder in bold.
