Run the Pandascan again now and copy & paste what it finds... it should be very small now.

Hi
Just run the Pandascan now, when I see the new log, we can make a decision about those two files...

i e-mailed it to you.. too big to fit here.
Hi
You still have a million files in either C:\RECYCLER\NPROTECT or C:\RECYCLER
Please do this...
Go here again :-
C:\RECYCLER\NPROTECT
and delete everything you can from the NPROTECT folder ...
THEN....
Empty your Recycle Bin ... if you have more than one account on the computer, empty the bins on all accounts ...
The other things that the Panda scan shows are tracking cookies, everybody gets these... Spybot S & D, Adaware and EWIDO should get rid of them all between them...
Try to do this and then run the Panda scan again, it should come up empty .... if it is still too big to post, don't e-mail it to me, just let me know in your next post ...there won't be anything new in it... that last log was 1meb in size

yes i am still here. sorry, i have been a bit busy. i am doing the panda scan now and will post the results later.
the panda scan is still too long...
HI
paste this into your address bar ...
C:\RECYCLER\NPROTECT
How many files are in the NPROTECT folder ?
Highlight everything in the folder...the nummber of files will be shown just above the START button...
I can't remember if you had several accounts on the computer, or whether you have more than one harddrive, or several partitions... but go to every account, harddrive and partition and empty the recycle bins first ... then check that NPROTECT folder, make a note of how many files there are (just for reference) then try to delete every file in the NPROTECT folder.
