Good Morning
Thank you for your speedy response

I have just run hijack this and checked the files you stated below, I have clicked fix checked but I then get an error message saying:-
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Unexpected error occurred!
Error #2 (Bad file name or number) in Sub GetLongPath(?.exe).
Please send a report to
merjin@spywareinfo.com, mentioning what you were doing, and what you were doing, and what version of windows you have.
This message has been copied to your clipboard.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
what should I do now?
I pressed the OK button and got the following message
Unable to delete the following file:
04 - Startup: lsass.Ink =?
The file may be in use. Use Task Manager to shutdown the program and run HijackThis again to delete the file.
I will try this first - sorry I did warn you I was stupid!
Thanks again for all your help I really appreciate it.
