Thanks Amateur!

Sorry about the extra bump. I did read all the directions prior to my first post. However after 7 days, I didn't recall the part that said helpers only search for topics with 0 or 1 replies. I only remembered the part which said not to bump before 72 hours. Hence one bump after 72 hours and a second bump after 144 hours.

Apparently I am not the only one who has had this misconception; I've seen a few other threads where the authors have replied every 72 hours and still have no help. Maybe the directions could be reworded to make a more lasting impression... "BUMP no more than once or your topic will not be seen by any volunteers." Just a thought, cuz I know first hand, my memory for directions drops off exponentially with time.

I made the changes you suggested and also disabled a few services from loading at startup. My computer is definitely faster. Thanks.

How concerned do I need to be that corrupted versions of bmark.exe and 3dtest.dll were found on my computer? In addition, I am still pretty concerned that my firewall detected GLB46.tmp attempting to access the internet. Since I cleared out my temp folders, does that mean this threat was also deleted? Did this malware do anything with my data or use any keylogger?

Thanks again,
David
