    O4 - HKLM\..\Run: [btbb_wcm_McciTrayApp] C:\Program Files\btbb_wcm\McciTrayApp.exe

    but I'm almost sure it's not bad

    What made you post the log in the first place ?? pop-ups ??

    Interesting McciTrayApp that it pops up in a lot of HJT log, but doesn't get a mention in removal tips - but can't find what it is actually for..
    Ever stop to think and forget to start again?

    This is the information I get on Net Meter. You decide and keep it if you wish.

    Process Name : NetMeter

    File Name : NetMeter.exe

    Description: NetRatings software by Opistat . "OpiStat measures Internet usage anonymously and surveys participants according to their profiles and online habits". This software has been reported to get downloaded and installed automatically after a Grokster install.

    Rating: Typically viruses, spyware, adware and resource hogs.

    Not sure what to do now whether to remove it.

    could get your firewall to block all outgoing traffic from that program, if it still does what you want it to do after that then I think there are no worries

    if you want to be 100% sure the viruses went then run your Antivirus in safe mode, but the log looks clean :)
