Then outta no where comes a Spybot alert window. the "allow/deny" change window. before i could react, MS antispy pops up saying it denied a change and disappeared. i looked back at the Spybot and not knowing what a bunch of numbers meant, i denied the change to be safe. i did some looking in Spybot and MSantispy and found,

---------------------------------
i pasted shell32.dll at Processlibrary.com and got this.
i ran Norton, MS, Spybot, and Adaware. Nothing found.
i was going to do an online scan, but i thought someone could direct me to one that would be the most applicable in this instance.
The pc seems to be fine. no issues, out of the ordinary. IE surfing is uneventfull. there has been this on going issue that i've been attributing to having only 192mb of ram.
the only thing i've done is dl CCleaner and a CPU monitoring program called CPUUsage from here.
BC Staff only pls,
there is one thing i have done that may be important. i don't want to post potentialy dangerous info here. if a staffer will pm me, i will explain.
dont know where to go from here.
ty,
igo
a2 online; nothing.
is it legit? i hope i'm not wasting bc time with this
