clueless

November 11, 2008

Jean I can't begin to thank you enough for your help.

The system seems to be back to normal.

Last questions- I have MBAM running. I am downloading Avira as I type. Do I delete the AVG? If so both the antivirus and anti-sypware?

Do I leave windows Defender running?

How often do I run Spybot and HJT?

November 10, 2008

Symantec is Norton right? That has been deleted for a year or so and to my knowledge is not active.

AVG -both antivirus and antispyware were running at the time of the infection and I think that windows defender was running.

Since I installed the other three products I have cut off the active scan for AVG antispyware- I think.

I did update java and adobe as well as deleting viewpoint

Here is the HTJ log but first I would like to ask which program/programs do you recommend to replace AVG?

- not complicate things but in reviewing what happend when I was trying to disinfect the virus, a couple of .dll files got "changed". If that matters I can list those for you.
