hope this makes some sense to you guys, because im fazed by it :)
i didnt find any major problems following the instructions. other than, when running the scan in panda activescan... i wasnt able to identify any section where i could check the autoclean box (as instructed). nevertheless i still saved the log, and can post if required...

finally, hope this pain in the backside is sorted now ;) look forward to hearing from you... thanks

just been on my computer for a few hours now... so far so good :D everything seems to b back to normal.

can someone please look over my logs just to give me the "official" all clear... thanks.

since im on a roll now, might aswell as u some more question... please advice on whether i should keep the packages i downloaded (Hijackthis, Ewido, smitrem, panda active scan) and if so, would a computer illiterate like myself do more harm than good??!! :shrug:
