Hi LonnyRJones

Thank you VERY much for checking my log and replying to my post. Good to know that was a false detection.

My recent issues have always seemed to start with Zone Alarm resetting all sites in the privacy section - I seem to be finding viruses every day though. I scan with the resident antivirus program, and with Bitdefender and trend or someother online scanner till it's clean, then next day I find something new. I was wondering if there might be something causing a vunerability that would show up on my HJT log.

I do see things like, when going to Bitdefender to do a scan, it won't do so and Zone Alarm's privacy advisor says I have blocked java, mime, cookies, etc even though I haven't for that site. When I click ZA's privacy advisor it highlights privacy status for OTHER sites like
a248.e.akamai.net which I have never visited (it comes back even if I remove it from ZA'a privacy sitelist window).

I don't know if those are associated sites or redirections - I never used to get this kind of thing, but I am now. It might be a very simple and innocent thing, but since I'm not an expert on the intricacies of security I would appreciate it if you could tell me if it's a problem or not!

If not, I'll just have to check my general vunerabilities and see if there are any other loopholes I have forgotten to close. If there's no other issues to be seen, I'll see how it goes!

Thanks again LonnyRJones!
