Cheers, Pilot. That cleaned some more junk, but not the reg key. Hmmm.

Well, you have some instructions per my PM. Once you've tried all that, let me know how you get on. As I said, the Altnet key seems to be an orphan, which makes it unwelcome, but not particularly malicious.

Since you don't know what Search Enhancer is, please uninstall it.

Make sure TeaTimer and Adwatch are both disabled.

Open HijackThis and click on 'Do a System Scan Only'. Check the following entries if they exist (make sure you do not miss any) and click Fix Checked

O2 - BHO: (no name) - {223CAE27-BA75-C18D-D334-56319C228BAA} - (no file)

Close HijackThis now.

Oh, about Panda scan...if Adwatch is active at the time, Panda won't load. Although it usually stops the popup window from opening, which it did for you...hmmm. Can you try it once again? First, uninstall Panda Active Scan from your Add/Remove panel, and re-do the instructions.

Don't spend more than 20 minutes waiting (assuming you're on broadband) for it to work, if it still stalls, something is amiss. Sometimes these things just hiccup, and if you run it again, it works.

Post any results from scans you've performed, and a new HJT log in your next reply.
