    I have a line on my hijack this log that I'm questioning. I ran a log two days ago and it was not there at that time. I looked at the tutorial thread for hijack this logs and it appears that it is saying anything with a 018 code is probably spyware. This looks to me like it has to do with Hewlett Packard but one never knows. Can someone please advise?
    Thanks!

    Leave that line alone! You are correct in that it is for Hewlett Packard. I assume you have one of their printers or other devices.

    Thanks Chaslang...you seem to be the person in the know so let me ask one more thing. I have another line in hijack this that I am unsure about. Major Attitude answered my original post about it but I am still not sure what to do. Can you please advise?

    R1 - HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Internet Settings,ProxyOverride = 127.0.0.1
    Thanks!

    That line is okay too. 127.0.0.1 is the address of your PC (referred to as localhost).
