From: Nancy on 6 Jan 2006 21:09 Gerry, I've used CWshredder at Trend Micro and it has not detected anything (I will try it again just to be thorough) I just finished running antispyware and NAV in safe mode and nothing detected. I emailed you the HijackThis log that I did right after I installed it and then again right after rebooting after running NAV and antispyware in safe mode. I will also post the log on the Hijack this forum - although I did not see anything in it myself. Everything I did previously, I would have been shocked if I had malware or a virus. Like I stated, this is just to be thorough. I did increase the pagefile size instead of letting windows handle it - is this a good idea or not? With as much memory the computer has, should this be necessary? Computer does seem to be running faster (and it was pretty fast before) "Gerry Cornell" wrote: > Nancy > > I have not used CWShredder but it detects a small group of malware the other > anti-spyware programmes may not. > http://www.intermute.com/products/cwshredder.html > > -- > > Hope this helps. > > Gerry > ~~~~ > FCA > Stourport, England > > Enquire, plan and execute > ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ > > "Nancy" <Nancy(a)discussions.microsoft.com> wrote in message > news:97CC1A54-7BF8-485C-A08B-4E77A4EC912E(a)microsoft.com... > > Gerry, > > > > I have repeatedly scanned my computerformalware and viruses and none of > > the > > scans have shown anything.
