    Sygate gave me message log saying that a program called Xpoint is possibly hijacking. I found the file folder and from my understanding it is rapid restore, i scanned it with avg but it didnt detect anything. its been doing it for about two weeks and i keep blocking it, but ever since it started my wireless connection mbps has went to crap, I dont know if the two are connected but any help would be appreciated.

    thanks

    Did you install the software Xpoint yourself, is it listed in Add/Remove?


    If it is listed in add/Remove or has an uninstaller and you dont want it uninstall the software, seems as in one of the files ( XPAgent.exe ) from that program flags up a false positive with some AnvtiVirus apps.


    but also follow the guide below to rule out other malware,

    After doing ALL of the above you still have a problem make sure you have booted to normal mode and run the steps in the below link to properly use HijackThis and attach a log:

    Do then run the guide in full as if you didnt install this application I then would suspect malware.
