OTL by OldTimer - Version 3.2.22.3 log created on 03192011_193417

Files\Folders moved on Reboot...
File move failed. C:\Documents and Settings\Andy\Local Settings\Temp\WCESLog.log scheduled to be moved on reboot.

Registry entries deleted on Reboot...


IE Settings were already as stated.

Anti-virus up to date and auto updates every 24 hours.

Windows update needed a couple of tweeks for sure.

Not done the Custom Hosts File thing yet.... to be honest I didn't totally understand it and need to go and read it again.....

WinPatrol now in place.

Spybot has been a resident on my system for a long time


I do believe that you have `aced` this one Bill, many thanks to you, you truly are a genius.

Regards

Andy

Hello andye,
Disregard the MVPS Host section and do the following, it is easier to Understand.
Download the HostsXpert 4.3 - Hosts File Manager.

• Unzip HostsXpert 4.2.0.0 - Hosts File Manager to a convenient folder such as C:\HostsXpert
• Click HostsXpert.exe to Run HostsXpert**- Hosts File Manager from its new home
• Click "Make ReadOnly?"** in the upper left corner.
• Click Restore Microsoft's Hosts file and then click OK.
• Click the X to exit the program.

Thanks

Hi Bill,

Thanks for that update, I have downloaded and don as instructed with that Hosts File Manager.

My pc appears to be running ok still.

Many thanks once again for your invaluable assistance with this problem.
