    Hi Everyone

    I've been trying to clean a PC now for many days, I've tried many many tools and lots of different concepts and ideas. I'm happy to admit i'm well and truly stuck. I hope you can give me some advice.
    Mcafee keeps throwing me Generic Downloader.ab virus warnings on various hmtl files within the PC's Temporary Internet File content folder against the winlogon.exe app. These html's do get deleted but only to return infected with the same Spyware hours later, as I said I've ran Spy Doc, Defender and EWIDO and cleaned out quite a lot of spyware but not this baby.
    Please help me get my life back and take a look at the attached log and see if you can identify the cause of both the Pc's and my unhappiness.
    Thanks
    Dave
