After adding 2 card games to my computer that were purchased (IncrediGames Jewel Quest Solitare and Tri-Peaks Solitare To Go) my computer screen will not open to the full width of my screen. It looks like it is in the safety mode however I haven't recieved any messages of my laptop being in Safety Mode. I also added iTunes to my programs but this was after the screen shrunk and I am recieving a error message that there was a problem connecting to my ipod. Thank You. LS
Hi, and Welcome to WhatTheTech :)

My name is jpshortstuff. I would be glad to take a look at your log and help you with solving any malware problems. HijackThis logs can take a while to research, so please be patient and I'd be grateful if you would note the following:
  • I will be working on your Malware issues, this may or may not solve other issues you have with your machine.
  • The fixes are specific to your problem and should only be used for the issues on this machine.
  • Please continue to review my answers until I tell you your machine appears to be clear. Absence of symptoms does not mean that everything is clear.
  • It's often worth reading through the instructions before starting to follow them to make sure you understand everything you have to do.
  • If you don't know or understand something, please don't hesitate to say or ask!! It's better to be sure and safe than sorry.
