WEll, I'm in normal mode and usnig my Internet Explorer, so it worked! My my computer also works. If you look at the previous log, under what you told me to click fix checked on, Sidestep is an add-on button for a plane fare finder website. I put it there. So I dno't know if it was necessary to fix that one. But, I can easily re-install that if I want to. Can you tell me more details on what it was that I had? I'm interested to know how I caught it.
Also, when I was having the problems, when IE would come up for just a split second and then go away, I noticed things like casino, pharmacy, gambling where the toolbar was on the right hand side.
Here's the new log: Am I clean? Thanks, thanks, thanks!
