Okay, I am very confused here. If this message gets posted I will be even more confused. I am trying to post my log and it (possibly the infection) is preventing me from doing so. I have tried e-mailing the log to my lap top and it prevents me from doing it. The internet works fine until I try to post the log or e-mail the log. Any idea's on a way around this?
