Hi
I have downloaded spybot today and after trying to run a scan & destroy i am continually having my computer shut down part way through the operation.
It is closing down anywhere between 70,000 & 105,000 . I have run the scan 4 times and each time it has been at a different point in the scan.

Can anyone offer any advice .

The main reason that i downloaded spybot was to try and remove a spywear that was forcing internet explorer to go to a home page called about blank and then it was redirected to a spywear purchase screen and it would not allow me to to leave without either buying the softwear or shutting down internet explorer.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you.

Bill

If you cannot run the Spybot or Anti Virus scan at all, please go ahead and post the HJT log along with a note regarding scan/s failure.
Please do not link to logs uploaded to a third party site unless requested, such links may be removed.
