This is my sister's old home business computer. P200, Win98, 256 mb ram.
It would make a good boat anchor.

I knew it was having problems so I told her I would try to help. I ran CWShreadder three times in safe mode and found 2 Trogans. CWS now says its clean.

Ran updated Ad-ware and found only 12 issues. Also Ran Spybot which fix several issues.

The following is a the HJT log: :lol: Your feedback is grealty appreciated!

My sister just returned from London on vacation. I have waited to run these fixes to get her verification before making any major changes to her computer.

We now have the changes and I have showed her the HJT logs. I will post the updated log once we get a chance to run the fixs.

Thank you for your help and support on this one.
