I'm doing what you asked with Malwarebytes. It's running just now and picked up nothing so far.

However I have had the program for years - it's not a recent addition. I've rund AdAware, SuperAntiSpyware and Spywareblaster.

'maybe' yours is fine then (Though im not saying it is for sure). But certainly dont advise anyone else of using it as it looks well dodgy to download these days

Just ran a quick scan with malwarebytes and it showed no infections. Now running a full scan so will let you know.

No problem.

So should I tick the middle two in HJT for the moment? (the two entries beginning 02)

aliEnRIK

yep ~ should be fine then

jem16

OK - thanks.

Should I still run the avg removal tool as well?

aliEnRIK

yes you should. Hijack is only a light program showing basics. There will certainly be more AVG running elsewhere

Looks like my WinDates is an earlier, non-infected one.

I've fixed the two items in HJT and will run the avg remover shortly.

Thanks for your help.

Glad your ok
