Hello Xerxes,
No, I haven't left you--it was dinner time for me and my family. Your reply that followed your posting of the Gmer log clarified your intent for me. No worries--let's continue. ![]() Regarding items that can be disabled at startup, you know better than I what you prefer to have for convenience. Look up any of the files in your list of running processes at this site. You'll find information explaining what these processes are and whether or not they need to be running at start up, or continuously running in background for proper operation of Windows. Additional assistance in streamlining your Operating System would be better discussed in the Windows XP section. ---------------------- To manage your cookies in Firefox, click on FF Tools>Options>Privacy From there, you can set exceptions for allowed cookies. If you need more detailed information, this issue would be better discussed in the Mozilla/Firefox Browsers section. ---------------------- You already have a good multi-layered set up of protection for your system--there is no need to add any more. For additional information, please take a look at these well written articles: PC Safety and Security--What Do I Need? HOW DID I GET INFECTED IN THE FIRST PLACE? by Tony Klein MAKING INTERNET EXPLORER SAFER Understanding and Using Firewalls

Yes, the gmer log is clean. I wouldn't say you are totally free from danger in the future--no one is--even with all the protective programs in place. Remember, the 'bad guys' come out with new ways to infect a system--then the Anti Malware tools add them in as they are discovered.
If you follow the advice given in the articles I linked you to, keep your tools updated and scan with them and let them clean what they find, you shouldn't have any serious problems in the future. ![]() Stay safe out there, Xerxes. ![]() |
