I ran a scan with escan and it found the below 3 infected files,

File system found infected by "Narrator Spyware/Adware" Virus

File system found infected by " VB and VBA Program Settings Sptware " Virus

and

Program Files/Pinnacle/studio9/oem/hfx5studiosilent.exe - tagged as not a virus:Tool.\win32.Reboot

I have run spybot, adaware, microsoft anti spyware, nod32, ccleaner, a squared - I have run HJT aswell but as I don't know what I am doing I not sure if things are normal.

Please any advice would be grateful.

Cheers

You do not mention running a Antivirus scan. If you do not have an Antivirus program installed, I suggest that you do so immediatly.

Scarlett,

I have run a full anti virus check using NOD32 - if did not find anytrhing!

I have also just scanned using Panda anti virus software and that also shows clear.

I am begining to suspect a false alarm :thumbsup:
