You're welcome Kim


Your latest HijackThis log no longer shows any signs of infections, although I'd do a couple of things for "clean up":

1. Now that you've deleted the vidctrl.exe file, you can go back and delete the entire C:\WINDOWS\system32\vidctrl folder; that folder was created by the infection that put the vidctrl.exe file inside the folder.

2. I'd set Explorer to show hidden files and folders again and do another search of your entire C: drive for the spool32.exe file just to make absolutely sure it's gone. If you do find the file, delete it.


Also- to best protect yourself from further infections, have a look at the suggestions in this link.

Please do not contact me by email or PM for help. We're all volunteers here, and only have so much free time to dedicate to our efforts.

However, if I've been working on a thread with you already, and seem to have "forgotten" your thread, please do send me a message. I try not to let things slip through the cracks, but it does happen sometimes.

Well, I still am not seeing the spool32.exe file, looked, searched, don't see it. Maybe I deleted it already.....

And, followed the advice on safe-browsing- have all of that stuff, and have, in the last 2 weeks switched to MozillaFirefox for my browser- done with IE.

Thanks again!!
Kim
