Thank you very much for your quick response. I have performed the functions as specified. I have found many more things cleared from the system. The system seems to be more responsive now but there remains some problems - namely:
1) AVG still crashes the system/reboots when scanning the registry.
2) still cannot access microsoft.com or symantec.com
3) IE still vectoring me off to other sites.
Attached, please find the latest superantispyware and
hjt logs.
thanks for your continued effort to bail me out.
