    Combofix doesnt think ANY antivirus is running now

    Is AVAST actually working properly?
    :idea:
  • Avast appears to be working properly. I disabled it to run combofix and have now enabled it again. It *looks* as if its working but I'm not very technical minded. Any ideas?

    Id say your good to go
    :idea:
  • So the trojans are all gone now? Thanks for looking at it.
    I still can't get my SD cards, USB stick or burned CDs to work. Do I need to reinstall the software for them all or is there an obvious reason for it?

    Are there any 'yellow exclamation marks' there?
    If so it means you need drivers for them

    Do you have a disc with the drivers on? (Even if no excalmation marks, you almost certainly need some drivers for themto work)
    :idea:
  • There's no exclamation marks. The cards and stick just say that they need formatting and the CDs claim to be blank.
    The card reader and stick just plug in so I don't have drivers for them, only for the camera.

    I noticed that you have XP SP2, it might be worth updating that a few times to the latest service pack.
