    Log looks clean to me. Might be a good idea to disable spybots TEA TIMER mode though

    What's that then? How do I get rid of it? I can't find it! :o

    i could be wrong but it looks like something to do with avg, there could be others which other people will pick up,

    Use the AVG removal tool as you still have parts on the system

    Errmm..how would I do that then? I've looked in Spybot, and can't find any reference to it. :confused:
    Do I really need all this stuff anyway? Adaware, Superantispyware, Spybot, etc. Wouldn't it be best to just have a couple? :confused:

    Which AVG remover? 32 or 64 bit? :confused:

    Sorry about all this. :o It is getting a bit quicker, bit by bit. :T
    If you lend someone a tenner and never see them again, it was probably worth it.

    Spybot ~
    Change the mode (Forgets what its called, but itwould be 'advanced' or whatever)
    Find the resident shield part and untick TEA TIMER
    (Im not at home so cant check exactly what the options are)

    32 bit avg remover

    Its a good idea to keep spybot (And use the IMMUNISE feature)
    Id also keep malwarebytes and superantispyware (They only run when clicked anyways)

    Id get rid of ad aware as I find it next to useless these days

    It needs removing somehow, and the avg tool should remove the lot. Hijack alone might not make any difference.
