Id say this is the problem -
AVG\AVG PC Tuneup 2011\BoostSpeed.exe
I await the malwarebytes log
Sorry I am making you work so hard :embarasse although getting turkey blood out of your toolbox can't be much fun either. I really don't want to think about how it got there ........
C:\Program Files (x86)\AVG\AVG PC Tuneup 2011\BoostSpeed.exe is listed on the copied log under "running processes" but on the log on the actual program "running processes" are not shown. And this file is nowhere else to be seen. I've sent myself blind going through it umpteen times and it is definitely not there.:question::question::question:
I did uninstall AVG tho, at the beginning of all this process before I installed Avast.Stop looking for answers....

also uninstall rapport
F2 - REG:system.ini: UserInit=userinit.exe looks unusual, maybe a 64bit hjt anomaly, have you had an infection in the past?
Hi Can you tell me why I need to uninstall Rapport? Its a propgram linked to my bank and seems quite useful.
Yes there was an infection in the distant past, maybe a year or so ago. My darling daughter accidentally visited some very iffy sites.
So is this one: F2 -Reg.... ok to leave where it is?Stop looking for answers....
