    I have spent the last couple of days installing new Anti Virus (Avast) and Firewall (Zone Alarm) Found a numbr of viruses and other malware. I did my best at fixing what I could find but would appreciate a second opinion. I tried to follow the "Read and Run Me First Thread" in it's entirety. When I ran the Panda Scan it returned "No Virus Found" and I saw no option to print a report.

    Your logs look good to me, the only file I am curious about is the one below.

    I would like for you to do two things with this file. First, I want you to upload it HERE to run an online malware scan. Second, I want you to locate this file, compress it to a ZIP file and upload it to your next post as an attachment so I can look into the file to be sure it's nothing malicious.

    I'll do that tonight. When I did some checking I thought it might be related to the keyboard that came with the Gateway computer. Thanks for your assistance.

    Did you notice anything that would slow bootup and loading programs? I know my son's computer is getting old but it seems painfully slow after using my laptop. Sometimes I am wondering if I clicked or not. Usually I click again and compound the problem by opening 2 copies of explorer or whatever the program it is. Also, do I need to run a memory check from AVG everytime it loads? That adds a couple of minutes to boot up. I know that was the default but that you can turn it off. I wasn't sure if that was a good idea or not.

    After cleaning things up I believe it is now running twice as fast as before but wanted to check with the experts.

    You guys do great work and I truly appreciate it. Based on your help the last 2 times, I was able to rid myself of some nasties using the online HJT scans and having a little knowledge of what to expect. I'll load that file tonight. Thanks again.

    I don't, just long as AVG loads at startup you'll be fine.

    It appears to be legit, no worries.
