I will follow your advice concerning IE and other security issues. I'm...

Yeah. I still have problems. I download the program and run it, the black box shows up for a second or so, disappears, and nothing happens. No log files show up, I went to bleepingcomputer to try...

Sorry. I was confused there for a second. When I run the original DDS scan a black box opens up for a couple seconds, then disappears and there are no logs opened up when it's finished. Am I doing...

Things seem to be running fine. None of the original problems are happening now. Does this mean I'm clean?

Here is the log from Gmer. I have my fingers crossed. My computer has been acting normal recently. No ping.exe issues or redirects from Google. I do worry something could be working in the...

What you say is unsettling, to say the least. I do want to try to clean my computer. Please advise me if you think I should just delete everything and start from scratch. I do have a backup hard...

I had an XP Internet Security infection which I seem to have stopped by doing a System Restore (hope I didn't blow it there - but it made my computer inoperable by blocking any action I tried to do.)...
