Consider this closed for me. I had to do another reformat, reload windows, updates, apps, etc, over the weekend. I did not re-install SD 1.6.0; somehow it was causing problems for me. Previous...

A few days ago I had to reformat my hard drive due to accumulated problems, not malware. Boot time went from 10 minutes to 2.5 minutes, etc. I also downloaded and installed SD 1.6.0, and all was...

Might as well call this thread closed. On 18 Aug I did a destructive restoration, built up Windows to SP3 plus other critical updates, installed and updated Norton Internet Security 2008, and...

I reinstalled SD 1.6, ran a scan, and found 8 items to fix, affecting IE7, and firewall/AV. I had tried initially to use the copy of 1.6 I downloaded on the 10th, but got an error message, so went...

After my post yesterday, I again looked at the Symantec log, and my own personal computer use log, and found that the new IP address and firewall changes came at about the same time. I had removed...

Yesterday morning I got a Warning from AVG 75 Antispy that I was infected by Worm.Lover.A. Spybot 1.6, Spysweeper, and Symantec didn't catch it. The virus hit Internet Explorer, got into every...

After a restart, after unchecking the "show balloon info", there is no longer a problem. The only balloons that show up now are the ones where a registry entry is changing, which is fine, but the...

I installed SD 1.6 yesterday, and am generally pleased with the new software. However, I too am annoyed with the pop up info balloons and the clicking sound for the process scans. Unchecking the...

Yesterday after posting here, I solved the problem. I went first to the MS IE7 XP user groups, and found some info about other anti-malware that also could require administrator privileges, etc. Of...

I am using Windows XP Home SP2, and Spybot 1.5.2. My ISP is changing its homepage URL soon, and is transitioning now. We are supposed to make the new URL our homepage, click the "make this my...

Can't send a screen shot; the error message appears during the last 5-10 seconds of the Windows closing screen. Most of Windows is closed at that time, and a screen shot will not work, or certainly...

I have been watching the shutdown sice my last post. Error messages occurred on 17, 19, and 28 August, and on 3 September. I had been watching the screen with a small handheld video camera nightly,...

Regarding the strange error message at shutdown, it has occurred three times since 17 August (17, 19, and 28th) according to my daily log. Yes, maybe a little anal retentive, but I like to note...

Thanks for your assistance and advice; I will take it to heart. I do have two final questions, though. You recommend removing all old system restore files. I noted a paragraph on an MS page about...

Sorry about the Word Wrap; I had been using notepad for something else and forgot to change format back. I noticed in your last post that those files were ones I thought I had previously removed,...

I removed temp files, etc., but the security/spyware logs are my security blanket. I feel better having a few days worth of background on my system. I deleted the three BHO's you mentioned, as well...

Computer seems OK, but thought it a little sluggish earlier. Had error just after today's boot: Norton Internet Security had an unexpected error in auto-protect. Required (the usual) uninstall and...

Only one infected file, one of my system restore folders, with dropper.small, apparently a trojan of some sort. While the AVG scan was running, I went to the web on another computer and googled...
