Hi ML,

Your settings are correct for Ewido. We'll worry about why a report was not produced later--we have more pressing issues at hand.

I almost always have more ideas.

-------------------------------------

Try running AdAware and Spybot in Safe Mode and see if they can complete a scan. If you are successful, let me know what they found--with the exception of cookies.

--------------------------------------

We're going to go deep here and hopefully we'll get a clue as to what is going on. Once again, you'll need to download to any removable media. Both of these tools are quite small--299kb and 397kb, respectively.

--------------------------------------



Please download SilentRunners.vbs - Right click & choose Save As... SilentRunners.vbs

Before proceeding, disable any anti-virus or anti-spyware programs that may block/disable scripts

Launch SilentRunners by double-clicking the downloaded file. In the ensuing Window, select 'No' to avoid skipping supplementary searches. Please be patient as the script requires a few minutes to complete.

When it's done, you'll receive the prompt "All Done!". It will create a file called "Startup Programs". Post ALL its contents here in your next reply.

----------------------------------

Download StartDreck

Unzip to its own folder and start the program:
Press 'Config'
Press 'mark all'

Uncheck the following box only:
List Modules - (listed under 'Running Proceses')
Press 'OK'

Press 'Save' and select the location to save the log file (default is the same folder as the application)

Post that log here.

------------------------------------

Go to HijackThis> Config> Misc Tools
Checkmark/tick 'list also minor sections (full)'
Click the 'Generate StartupList log' button
Post the log in your next reply.
