Canada Member No.: 59,826	Hi partchy06, Since you have a HJT log posted in the HijackThis Logs and Malware Removal forum, I'm going to close this Topic. You shouldn't make any changes to your system, while your HJT log is posted, as that could change the results of the posted log, making it difficult to properly clean your system. At this point, the HJT Team should be the only members that you take advice from, until they have verified your log as clean. If you have received no response after 5 days, give them a gentle reminder by posting a link to your HJT log in the thread titled "Haven't Had A Reply In Five Days?". If you have any questions, don't hesitate to send me a PM. -------------------- Join Bleeping Computers Folding@home Team and Help find a cure.
