Re: Bad start :-(

Make sure AdAware isn't interfering.

Disable Ad-Aware Ad-Watch
  • Right click on the Ad-Watch icon in the system tray.
  • At the bottom of the screen there will be two checkable items called "Active" and "Automatic"
    • Active: This will turn Ad-Watch On\Off without closing it
    • Automatic: Suspicious activity will be blocked automatically.
  • Uncheck both of those boxes.
--------------------------------------------------------------------

Open HijackThis and click on 'Do a System Scan Only'. 'Check' the following entries:

O4 - HKLM\..\Run: [ScanRegistry] C:\W

Let's try resetting IE:





Try again to get an online scan at either Panda or Kaspersky.
