Hey All,
First time user of HJT and would like to have someone analyze the results from my first scan.
Any Help is greatly appreciated!

Thanx,
Learner!

Hello and welcome to TomCoyote forums. Since you are new I will tell you that the first thing to do is tell whoever is going to help you what your problems are and give them any error messages you are receiving "word for word". Now since you did not mention a problem, I will have to assume you do not have any. Your HJT log is clean and here is some great information from Tony Klein, Texruss, ChrisRLG and Grinler to help you stay clean and safe online:

Phil, Appreciate the look. Read up on HJT and thought I'd shoot you guys my log as a baseline for my system. Rarely experience any type of problems that needed a HJT log but really wanted a starting point. Thank you again for your time in looking at my log and appreciate the hyperlinks to better secure my machine. Jim

OK Jim, and you are certainly welcome. I can't indicate enough the need for great care anymore. There are some rootkits that we suggest a reformat as soon as we see them because we know you can never be assured of the safety of the computer anymore. Here is a little information.
