  • You also appear to have Symantec and AVG on your system - you need to completely remove one of them

    Thanks a lot guys, you are legends. Running scan with superantispyware at the mo, when this is done and I run a fresh hijack log can I post the results for you to have a look at as it means nothing to me!
    Also, have been having a look at some other threads, would you recommend that I get rid of AVG and Symantec and install something else?

    Thanks again guys!
  • Post the logs by all means - for now I would remove one anti virus product. When you are clean we can look at alternative.

    Have told him he cant watch it, hes not best pleased! Superantispyware scan still running, 87 tracking cookies detected so far, do I need to do anything with this when its completed?
    Thanks for your patience.
