Hello!

After many attempts at deleting stuff on regedit (I know, pretty dangerous stuff if you have not much of a clue!!) (now it won't even allow me to open regedit unless on safe mode) I think I have given up…. my PC is not behaving very well at all.

msdirectx.sys seems to ALWAYS pop up when I look on c: drive, and even if i delete it, it comes back up.

I would appreciate it greatly if someone could have a little look at my log….. thank you in advance : )

:wavey:

oh! PS:!!
''notes.exe'' pops up often as one of the starup items, i removed one from this log but i suspect the host is still there… somewhere…. lurking….. :P
