Re: suspected nasties - please take a look @ log

Hi cduval04,

I'm not seeing any malware in the logs. Do you recall what was done on the system shortly before IE began the crashes? Was there a Windows Update or update of any software that you have installed?

If not, then let's see if an online scan picks up on anything. You can use Firefox for this scanner.

It can take some time, so please be patient and allow it to run it's full course:


Using Internet Explorer or Firefox, visit http://www.kaspersky.com/kos/eng/par...avwebscan.html

1. Click Accept, when prompted to download and install the program files and database of malware definitions.


2. To optimize scanning time and produce a more sensible report for review:
  • Close any open programs
  • Turn off the real time scanner of any existing antivirus program while performing the online scan

3. Click Run at the Security prompt. The program will then begin downloading and installing and will also update the database. Please be patient as this can take several minutes.
  • Once the update is complete, click on My Computer under the green Scan bar to the left to start the scan.
  • Once the scan is complete, it will display if your system has been infected. It does not provide an option to clean/disinfect. We only require a report from it.
  • Do NOT be alarmed by what you see in the report. Many of the finds have likely been quarantined.
  • Click View scan report at the bottom.



  • Click the Save as Text button to save the file to your desktop so that you may post it in your next reply
