History:
I have been helped before - and I am VERY grateful to PSKELLEY! (I know his first name but I'm not sure if it would be appropriate to use it. Regardless, everyone should be aware that he is terrific!)

A Confession Follows: :red:
I became ill (and was hospitalized) and I DID NOT complete the necessary procedures with the great guy that helped me.:oops:
Note that I believe that I forgot to re-start TeaTimer at that time as well.

FYI:
I am running Norton 360 ver 2 in addition to Spybot
I have purchased Acronis True Image 11 Home PC Backup & Recovery but I am waiting to use it until this Malware Removal is complete. (My eventual intention is to replace the hard drive or the entire computer and hope that the Acronis program will be helpful for this (in addition to its normal Backup & Recovery function).
Also, I could probably obtain a legal copy of Kaspersky Internet Security 2009 at low cost (if you advise doing so).
I do have a 2nd Computer connected to the Internet and it's within a couple of feet of the infected computer.
The Infected Computer is running Windows XP and the 2nd Computer is running Vista.
Each computer uses a separate external hard drive for backup with Norton 360 driving each of the backups.

Problems:
1)SpyBot is not able to remove: MyWay.MyWebSearch
2)Computer runs very slowly.
3)Internet Explorer shuts down for no apparent reason.
4)Norton 360 ver.2 reports an unsolvable problem. It says it is a backup issue but I suspect there is more to it than that.
Norton 360 reports the following (and I quote):
"Norton 360 Scan Details

Backup Result

Some files were not backed up. Please make sure that all running programs are closed and then try again.
The following files could not be backed up:
C:\documents and settings\all users\application data\pure networks\Log\Gateway-00-1E-E5-B3-89-3A.txt
C:\documents and settings\all users\application data\pure networks\Log\logfile.nmctxth_exe.txt
C:\documents and settings\all users\application data\pure networks\Log\logfile.nmsrvc_exe.txt"

5)svchost.exe does not shut down on its own sometimes. This doesn't seem very important (but I'm just guessing).

I still find it hard to believe there is a place like this on the Internet. All of those that support it should be congratulated daily!!! (and I hope Santa :santa: treated you all very well!)

I'm no angel :angel: but I do volunteer weekly as a facilitator for the DBSA (Depression and Bi-Polar Support Alliance). The work comes with its own reward - but it is work - and I salute you all!!!

:present: HAPPY NEW YEAR :crowned:
and Best Regards, -Bob-
