Alright, I'll trust you on this one. You're the one who knows what he's doing.

Nice to hear :bigthumb:

Please follow my previous instructions.

I un-checked the check box that reads "Turn Off System Restore" and I believe that it is supposed to ask me to reboot, however, it has not done that. Should I reboot anyway, or do I need to wait?

Hi

Put the system restore on and reboot your computer, then re-run Kaspersky online scanner and post a fresh HijackThis log and Kaspersky's report :bigthumb:

Markka,

First of all, thankyou for all your help! I really appreciate it, as do the other people who use this computer.

Secondly, my computer runs fine now except for the odd time where it "goes to sleep" by itself and I can't wake it up, but the last time that happened was yesterday morning, and it's been fine since then.

I will follow the rest of your tips to help my computer stay clean, and if I have any more problems I will refer to you as to what to do. Many thanks,

Joe.

Markka · Aug 17, 2007

You're welcome! :bigthumb:
