I have the same symptoms. I've tried to DDS but it hangs windows and I have to crash the system to restart it - it prints 3/4 of a line of #'s until it gets under the 't' if 'it', then hangs. Process Explorer and Task Manager show DDS.scr & the .dat process but also hang. If DDS is supposed to show the open processes and anyone knows how to get a list from Process Explorer or Task Manager let me know and I'll post that. Apart from that, I tried to run malwarebytes in the protection mode which sometimes, but not always, traps the re-direction and pops up a box over the Windows task bar, HOWEVER a big minus is I can't boot with both protection mode and McAfee enabled - if I switch it on manually after boot and the system dies or has to be shut down it's a royal P.I.T.A. to get it back up involving safe mode & msconfig. Also, neither malwarebytes, MS Security Essentials or McAfee (all are up-to-date) don't report any other problems from a full system scan. Anyone any other ideas I can try? Thanks, Bernard
