    I have windows 7 home 64. I ran all files as described and did not find anything. However, I have two reasons to believe I have a problem:

    1) My yahoo account was hacked, i.e. someone actually got my password. There were sent messages in my sent folder. I changed my password (on a different machine) and have not had a problem since (3 days).

    2) The computer is behaving oddly with programs that don't quite run, crashing.

    3) I get a "busy" symbol on my cursor (the blue circle) every ~ 10 seconds or so.

    I have not install anything recently. I have Avast antivirus and spyware doctor.

    Thanks for looking at this.

    If Spyware Doctor is not a paid for version, uninstall it.

    Please disable all anti-virus and anti-spyware programs while we do the following (re-enable when you are finished):

    Run C:\MGtools\analyse.exe by double clicking on it (Note: if using Vista, don't double click, use right click and select Run As Administrator). This is really HijackThis (select Do a system scan only) and select the following lines but DO NOT CLICK FIX until you exit all browser sessions including the one you are reading in right now:
    After clicking Fix, exit HJT.

    Now use windows explorer to find and delete:
    C:\ProgramData\Partner

    Otherwise, I am not seeing any malware in your logs. I suggest that you post in the software forum for further assistance.

    You can remove MGtools by going to the C:\MGTools\MGClean.bat.

    Thanks for your help. I got rid of the registry entry that you suggested. I was having a problem with real player trying to repeatedly access the internet and I killed it. I still don't know how my password was obtained.

    This is an amazing service you provide.
