Thanks for the help! I followed your instructions. There were no files listed in the bottom section. When I clicked the Make a Log of what was found button this is what I received: * DLLCompare Log version() Files Found that Windows does not See or cannot Access *Not everything listed here means you are infected! ________________________________________________ O^E says: "There were no files found " ________________________________________________ 1,578 items found: 1,578 files, 0 directories.

Hi. I followed your instructions. I installed CWshredder with all browser windoes closed and rebooted. However, when I went to install Ad-aware from the lavasoft site, I ran into some problems. The link on the webpage leads you to Download.com. When I click on that link and choose the download now option, the download does not appear to start on its own. When I choose "If your download does not start, click here" I am taken to a page with a link called "ftp.download.com." After I select that, I get a "cannot find server/page cannot be displayed messge."

WELL DONE!!

Just have HJT fix this one and you are good to go.
