    Hi again,

    Have made it almost a whole year without having to post here... i'd say that's pretty good.

    Recently, CPU usage spikes out when trying to use a software program called ProTools. Had the same problem before and it was spyware running behind the scenes. I've done all scans that I can remember having done before, but nothing has turned up, and problem persists. I'm going to post my Hijack This log here. Please don't yell at me...
    Please take a look and let me know if you see anything fishy. Also, any free trojan detect fixers that have the latest updates? Already used up Trojan Gold...
    Thanks a million!

    Followed Procedures, still having problem...

    Hi,

    Spent all day loading and scanning recommended programs. They found a couple things, and I think fixed everything. However, I could not scan on-line in safe mode, so I did it regular mode. However, I did scan with Stinger in safe mode... nothing found with that.
    However, CPU still spikes when using ProTools, particularly when using the built-in reverb effect...

    Attached is a HJT file. Please let me know if you see anything suspicious in here.

    Thanks,
    Brant

    Sorry about all that... There's a lot of new rules here, and I have dislexia, so sometimes I read it, but it doesn't stick if I don't slow down...

    Followed your instructions. Attached is a log file for HJT.

    FYI: CPU and Usage meaters act like they did when I had Trojan/Spyware about a year ago.

    Thanks,
    Brant

    No need to continue here. Found the problem. Glitch in the software.
