Secunia was clean.
Still did not update Java - how do you suggest I go about this:

Gotcha.
I had issues with newer versions of Adobe being sluggish, but if you insist I'll update.
The Java update did not show up in Secunia, but I'll scan again.
It's odd the log has an April date, the pgm says it was last updated Aug 15th. Reupdated.
Done. Since when did we start using Secunia? Is it the new standard?

Help would still be good.

Hi Blade,
I'm having trouble running the combofix script. After the drag and drop, combofix displays its progress bar which completes, but no log is created or displayed.
Pls let me know...
Ok - I've actually zipped it in order to attach. Hope this is ok.
Hi Blade,
Actually, the combofix file is 158kb - too big to upload apparently. Any workaround?
Hi Blade,
The log file was actually saved to my desktop (default was the temp drive) as log.txt . I've renamed and attached it.

Hi Blade,
Will run the scan tonight - it took quite some time to download the updates.
Please leave this thread open.

Hi Blade,
I cannot seem to find the file. HJT lists it as missing. Perhaps it was cleaned by my antivirus?
Here's a new HJT.

No problems so far, but a few questions -
What's the best way to:
1) backup files?
- any possibility to synch across a network?
2) Create backup system images
Thanks,
