Ok- here is an update. Phew- it took a long time. I ran trend micro but couldn't run it in Firefox so had to open in Explorer. What is strange was that the other links had to be clicked from Explorer too- ie Panda which I ran. But when I went to this site-techsupportforum and logged in-the site recognized my name but acted as if I wasn't logged in. In Firefox I'm ok.

Anyway, Trend micro couldn't remove two files- I had lots of bad stuff on my system which norton and stinger didn't catch. You were right. But what good is Norton if all this stuff got in. So, it couldn't remove ADW-Hotbar.B and ADW-Hotbar.J. Now what do I do with these two stuck in my system.

With Panda- not sure how it works. I sent 4 files to the lab but it didn't work. Just wouldn't complete the send. It detected 97 spyware, 1 hacker file and 4 of something else. ARe they gone-does Panda remove them?

I'm going to post my Hijack log to the site and see how I'm doing.

thanks for the help.
