    Arh #I think I know what you mean. When you get the dwnload bialog box instead of selecting run, choose save and change the name?

    yes (Or SAVE it to your desktop and change the name from there)

    Just run it when you can (Forget the anti virus message)

    OK saved to desktop and changed name so it reads QWERT.exe but still get error when I'm trying to run it. The error is a dialog box that says Windows cannot find '32788r22fwjfw\hidec.exe'. MAke sure you type the name correctly, and try again.

    And I continue to get a couple of message saying to disable my antivirus.

    Thanks Thomas. I had already disabled it but it still wouldn't run. My PC is now running the scan as given in the last post by Alien rik. So as soon as it is finished I will post the log on here for you experts to peruse.

    Regards

    Okey dokey, the Kapersky thing scan finished saying no malware detected and the report thing was blank. It did say to disable any pop up blockers to view it but I haven't got any pop blocker installed.

    So is it happy now?

    Well I cant say it is for sure as I cant see whats running for myself (Just because Kapsersky cant find anything doesnt mean its NOT infected ~ just that it 'might' not be infected)

    Your call. You can just see how you get on if you like. Take into consideration that that something must have infected the registry key in the 1st place so id personally guess that SOMETHING still resides in your computer

    Also need to update Java, older versions are liable to let infections onto your machine..
