Half way down there is a list of files it tells you to rename and then to delete. I've checked these by searching the whole of my C:\Windows folder and have not found any of them, so I'd be surprised if I had the Haxdoor virus. > I suggest expanding your malicious software scanning horizons. > > Download, install, update and do a full scan with these free malware > detection programs: > > Malwarebytes (MBAM): http://malwarebytes.org/ > SUPERAntiSpyware: (SAS): http://www.superantispyware.com/ > > They can be uninstalled later if desired. > > If the scans run clean and the issue happens again, diagnose and > resolve it with certainty by examining the crash dump file after your > next failure. I've installed and run Malwarebytes. It found something called Adware/Zinki (something like that anyway) which it has removed so I will see if that has resolved the problem when I boot the PC tomorrow. Part of me wonders if it just doesn't like booting up from cold in the morning, something I'm not that keen on either !! K. |
