Hi,
When I run the usual free scan spybot, adware, mcaffe, aol antivirus, they always finish. When I run trend(online scan) it cuts out early during the scan where as it worked before on my computer. Do you know why this is? Im guesing this cant be a trojan but am unsure.

thanks again greenhouse

it may in fact be a trojan they are known to turn off virus scanners
or a previus trojan has been killed but has left your scanner crippled
or the scaner is just buggy

ok can i give you my log to take a look at to see if there is anything suspicious. Here it is :- :eek: :cheesy:
