Hello,

In the mean time i would just like to add a big thank you, for all your patience and help with eradicating/removing the Mal-ware that my PC was infected with, rest assured its people like yourself that i take my hat of to !!, especially for taking up your free time helping others,

You are more than welcome! I am truly glad that I was able to be of assistance to you. :)

Will follow on with the sound issue in the WTT Microsoft Windows forum as you suggest, if i find anything else relating to this Topic i can always PM you,
Will sit my son down and read with him the last post in the hope that we can avoid any further Mal-ware,

RE Donations, do i send you something or send to the forum direct?

That is a decision that is completely up to you. I do have a donation in my signature which goes directly to me; however, if your interesting in making a direct donation to the site that can be done by visiting this link here for further information: http://www.whatthetech.com/donate/

Would you suggest i stop using IE and use another browser?, a friend said that FireFox was safer as there is more Mal-ware directed at Windows IE?, also he Google-Chrome was good but use a lot of resource's?, as i said i am a complete novice with computers so any advice would be greatly appreciated !,

I'm personally not a real big fan of Internet Explorer. I'd recommend FireFox, Google Chrome, or Opera over Internet Explore any day of the week. In my opinion the best way for you to figure out which browser suites your needs would be to try them out one at a time and if you feel that one browser doesn't suite your needs to is to uninstall it and install a different one.

Cheers,
SweetTech.
Sorry SweetTech, I forgot to mention about the second hard drive, did the scans we do only look at C:/ drive, as from memory one of the scans had D:/ drive unchecked when we scanned in T'Killer, or did we look/scan at the whole PC?
Not all of the scans that we did looked on your second hard drive, but enough of them did to give me an idea of whether or not any malware was lurking on them.
Okay. I'll leave this thread open for a couple days in case you have any more questions for me and then I'll close it up.
