Hi Glaswegian

I'm really sorry if the appearance of my name in a thread raises worries...

The point is that, when huadio.tmp was intercepted by Windows Defender, I was given the sound advice in the General Security part of TSF to run the 5-step procedure. I combined this with earlier sporadic signs that could be the result of hardly-detectable malware (despite the presence in that pc of a bunch of "standard" resident anti-malware tools), and I decided to follow the 5-step procedure.

I'm really glad that I did so, because malware was indeed detected that I was unaware of, and now I feel (personally & pc-wise) in a much better state.

Now, what I found inherent in the 5-step procedure, is that it has to be performed precisely and methodically. To my understanding, this means to do what you are asked to do - nothing more, nothing less. It's of paramount importance to stick to the instructions, and that's what I did. I had a look to the HJT log myself, seemed OK, but I didn't touch a thing. When you are told so and you do otherwise, you're heading for trouble in the most unrespectful (to all the hard work that founds TSF) way.

Conclusively, this pc seems to be running and, according to the HJT log, is indeed running normally. Thanks for taking the time to check it out. I believe this thread can now be classified as resolved.
