Please see the special Notes regarding using Multi_AV in Vista. http://www.elephantboycomputers.com/page2.html#Multi-AV - instructions http://tinyurl.com/yoeru3 - download link and more instructions When all else fails, get guided help. Choose one of the specialty forums listed at the first link. Register and read its posting FAQ. You will generally be asked to: 1. Download and execute HiJack This! (HJT) - http://www.trendsecure.com/portal/en-US/th.../HJTInstall.exe 2. Disable Notepad's word wrap - In Notepad.exe; Format --> uncheck; "Word wrap" 3. Download/run Deckard's System Scanner - http://www.techsupportforum.com/sectools/Deckard/dss.exe 4. Save the scan results (Main.txt and Extra.txt) 5. And then post the contents of Main.txt and Extra.txt in your post at the forum you chose. DO NOT POST LOGS IN THE MS NEWSGROUPS. Standard disclaimer: I can't see and test your computer myself, so these are just suggestions based on many years of being a professional computer tech; suggestions based on what you've written. You should not take my suggestions as a definitive diagnosis. If you can't do the work yourself (and there is no shame in admitting this isn't your cup of tea), take the machine to a professional computer repair shop (not your local equivalent of BigComputerStore/GeekSquad). Please be aware that not all local shops are skilled at removing malware and even if they are, your computer may be so infested that Windows will need to be clean-installed. If possible, have all your data backed up before you take the machine into a shop. The only alternative to going through the malware removal tediously and systematically, probably with online help from an HJT forum, and taking the machine to a real professional is to back up your data and do a clean install of Windows. It's your call. Malke -- MS-MVP Elephant Boy Computers www.elephantboycomputers.com Don't Panic! Quote

However, there's a good probability that you're infected with malware. -- Ken Blake, Microsoft MVP - Windows Desktop Experience Please Reply to the Newsgroup Quote
