Hi, that log look pretty short. Are you sure you copied the whole thing? Also, be sure to run it in Normal mode.

Please run HJT again, and check these items.

  • Click the red-and-white Delete File button. Click Yes at the Delete on Reboot prompt. Click OK at any PendingFileRenameOperations prompt (and please let me know if you receive this message!).

Crap. Hold that you have 98.

DO NOT DELETE TASKMON - If you already did, kill box should have made a backup if you told it to. Also, windows will re generate it...Or it should

Wink.exe : http://castlecops.com/s4399-Wink_exe.html


I am very sorry, that was my mistake, but nothing we can't fix.

Sorry :(


EDIT: Ok, taskmon is back, no harm done :).

New log is clean. :)

Member Avatar for eltommyo

Please copy the file paths below to the clipboard by highlighting ALL of them and pressing CTRL + C (or, after highlighting, right-click and choose copy):

C:\WINDOWS\taskmon.exe


C:\Program Files\Wink\Wink.exe
