Hello Ried

Thank you for your response and the detailed guidelines. I have already performed an online scan with Kasperski a few days ago following the same steps that you suggested in your previous post. It took more than 8 hrs to complete, so I thought I should post the existing log first and ask you if you think I should do the scan again. Here is the log:

Trojan-Downloader.WMA.Wimad.l1

The selected area was scanned.

Please note that file HTP-1.1.exe is a file I built when I was learning C++ and it is six months old. Probably a false positive, right?

Regarding drive D:, as far as I am concerned it is just an ordinary partition (based on the approach that C: should have system files and D: user files). I think that VAIO's recovery files are stored in a hidden partition which is not accessible by Windows.

Thank you again for your time!!! Much appreciated!
