Hello Ried,

Thank you very much for your help. Sorry, I haven't responded sooner--I've been away at work all day, but I'll be sure to check back periodically through the night for your response.

I followed your instructions and was able to run the gmer.exe, but the computer keeps blue-screening (and saying it's doing a physical dump of its memory) mid-scan, so I'm unable to get an ark.txt file (unless you wanted me to send in abbreviated results?).

Also, I've noticed a few more things: my computer is extremely slow on start-up, especially when it's restarted properly (vs. from the power switch). it's a bit faster in safe mode. The spyware links seem to only occur (and always) when I'm clicking on google search results. I'm not sure if that problem is exclusive to google (or search engines in general)-that's just my guess.

Hope that's helpful! Thanks again!

Brian
