One other thing poppd up a message that says
"can't find file///C:/WINDOWS/privacy/_danger/index.htm"

and my desktop is white...although everything appears to work other than active desktop.

Ok downloaded the new version of HiJackthis...will post the new log...
Since my last communication I ran an Avast and AVG scans, they fixed the active desktop but I lost my Task Manager "Task Manager has been denied by Administrator" or something near that.

I Ran SD fix and in the running it gave numerous Cannot run process commands and then took away all the icons and froze...restart and finished SD...shut down ran SD again...same results but then started the Hijack this and was able to delete my Two very helpful BHO's. Pretty much fixed everything...seems ok now, speed good, Internet normal (no popups or page changes).

Was wondering if I should remove the 024 privacy protection ?

Thanks for helping- MS
