    I have uninstall HJT and have started to work thru the steps in the RUN & READ ME FIRST guide.

    I have run into a road block! Whenever, (I've done it three times) I attempt to run a SUPER AntiSpyware scan per the instructions my laptop screen goes blank and the machine is non-responsive. The screen continues to be backlit but the only way I've been able to 'wake up the machine is to power off and remove the battery. Early in the scan the s/w finds several threats of the Vundo variety. I have been unable to identify what item when found on the scan causes the laptop to stop working. This sucker has got me good! Any additional advise?

    Thanks,

    Skip that scan and try running MalwareBytes....and if you have problems with that...ComboFix....then if still a problem....run the MGTools.exe and attach the C::\MGLogs.zip.

    TimW,

    Way to go man! I ran MalwareBytes and it abated the malware problem to the point where I was able to install and configure my retail copy of TrendMicro Internet Security 2008. TM found and fixed an additional 64 threats. I'm a stupid fat and happy web surfer again!

    Thanks for the Major Assistance.
