    Hi.
    I hope someone can help. Going through the cleaning procedure,as advised by Major Attitude, I noticed a program called Screensavers Installer Version 2 in my Add or Remove programs file in Control Panel. It is on the list of Malware programs so I tried removing it. I got an error message in an option box,
    "An error occurred while trying to remove Screensavers Installer Version 2. It may have already been uninstalled.
    Would you like to remove Screensavers Installer Version 2 from the Add or Remove programs list?"
    Then I get the option to click on yes or no.
    Strange things are happening with my control panel. Firstly, I found that I was unable to remove Microsoft Office 97 from the Add or Remove programs.
    Secondly, I see that Control Panel has suddenly appeared as a seperate and clickable item, under Other, between Removable Drives and Scanners and Cameras, in the list of drives accessed by clicking on My Computer.
    This is my second attempt at the cleaning procedure so it's possible I may have overlooked Screensaver Installer in my list of Add or Remove programs the first time around.
    Regards Jiminat

    Mgtools Application error

    Hi When I run MGtools from my C: drive, it gets as far as the line:

    C:\MGTools\temp\GRKflag.txt exists. Deleting it!
    Zipping hijackthis.log
    updating:highjackthis.log <188 bytes security><deflated 68%>

    Then a popup box appears called "Processdll.exe Application Error"
    with the error message;
    "The Application failed to initialise properly(0x0000135). Click on OK to terminate the Application"

    Can anybody help please?
    Regards Jiminat
