Hey 1972vet.
To clarify the internet connection issue- the computer automatically establishes a wireless connection upon startup. When I open my browser Firefox would not find the homepage until the connection had been repaired several times (until the ip address had been changed to 10.0.0.6). Its behaving now so I cannot give you the ip address it was previously connecting to. I remember it beginning with 256.x Any help?
I removed the yahoo toolbar using add/remove programs months ago. Why is it still lurking in the log? I'll check the other user account and see if I can answer that myself.
I ran a secunia software check today which meant downloading the latest java run time.
the results showed that macromedia flash player 6.x was outdated. I downloaded the newer version but subsequent checks continued to show that it hadn't updated. should I remove flash player and start over?
Ran Hjt without fuss, here it is;
