    I recently got infected by a whole load of malware by downloading a crack for a game from the internet, which turned out to be Cool Web and a whole bunch of malware. I managed to delete most of it (Scaned with AVGfree,Trendmicro, ccCleaner, Ad-ware SE, CWS shredder, Spybot Search and Destroy and Panda). Everything I found I deleted (except for one adware located in my windows registry, and Im not too sure where that is or how to get there). There are three problems im left with which I have noticed. 1) When I open my computer the flash light symbol (searching for files) appears for about 20seconds before My Docs, C drive etc. appear. 2) When using explore, after I typl in the URL and press go, nothing seems to respond. If I leave it running for a while all of a sudden it will change to the page I requested. Also If I select somthing from my dropdown menu of webpages recently visited its works imidiatly or if a copy the url from somwhere else and paste that into explorer (this problem does not occur if I use firefox) 3) Every time I start my comp I have to enable AVG's Email Scanner (Im not sure if this is due to a virus or not.) Any one know of these problems or ways to fix them?

    PS. I have read and done everything in read & run first except starting my comp in safe mode.

    Then you have not followed the instructions. All the steps are to be run in safe mode!

    Not really! Please do not post any logs inline like this.

    We already know that SpySweeper takes care of many problems including what you have. That is why it is in some of our stickies and is used in many threads.
