    assuming it IS infected

    Your going to have to create a 'rescue disc'

    Download this image file to your desktop
    http://dl1.pro.antivir.de/package/rescue_system/common/en/rescue_system-common-en.iso

    It SHOULD be self explanatory but once its up and running then here are the instructions in case you want them at hand ~
    http://www.avira.com/documents/tools/pdf/en/man_avira_antivir-removaltool_en.pdf

    Download IMGBURN and install it
    Open it and goto BURN IMAGE FILE
    BROWSE for the ISO file on the desktop and burn to a cd

    Put the cd in your infected computer and boot from it (May need to go into BIOS to change the boot order) ~ usually the DELETE key at bootup

    If tou cant get anything else running then this is my only advice other than wipe it and start afresh

    I don't. Assumed that was the problem when it all went pear shaped. Do you NOT think it's an infection?

    I really dont know
    Youve said on the other thread youve just now installed Avira yes?
    If thats not picked anything up straight away then I suspect your not infected (only SUSPECT mind)

    Id suggest putting PCTOOLS firewall on your computer ready to install
    Download PC TOOLS FIREWALL (Make sure you click 'DOWNLOAD NOW')
    When installing you have the option of installing 'THREATFIRE' too (another antivirus program). Entirely upto you if you wish to or not.
    http://www.download.com/PC-Tools-Firewall-Plus-Free-Edition/3000-10435_4-10625321.html

    Disconnect from the net. Uninstall zonealarm and see how it is (WITHOUT connecting to the net)
    If its fine then install PCTOOLS firewall and carry on as normal
    :idea:
  • You're not as green as you're cabbage looking are you Rik?! (Thats a compliment by the way!).
    I read somewhere on another thread to check the err shall we say 'dust status' of the inside of the case. Yep, you know whats coming dont you!
    It was dreadful.
    Have cleaned it out (carefully) and can now update most stuff.
    Have run a lot of the progs you normally recomend and no threats found so far.
    However, the drivers had gone walkabouts for the display (Nvidia) so I've sorted that - well nearly, desktop now ok but MSE too big :o but everything is PAINFULLY slow! Reminds me of my old dial up days!:eek:
    Zone Alarm kept disappearing although still in my programmes list and Avira would run but NOT update.
    Anyway, I've removed Avira for now and installed Avast which is currently scanning.
    I'm going to take your advice Rik and try PCTools for the Firewall and uninstall ZA.
    One last thing.
    I notice in the Hijack log that there seems to be some remnants of AVG even tho I've uninstalled and used the removal tool. Any thoughts?:o
