    and then click on the "fix selected" tab then close hijackthis

    reboot to safe mode and then delete this file

    C:\Program Files\DriveCleaner Free\UDC.exe

    and the directory it is in

    C:\Program Files\DriveCleaner Free


    and then empty the recycle bin


    and then try to run both spybot and AVG

    Have got the hijack open, ticked the selected, when I click the link I'm getting 'page cannot be displayed' Dp I click anything on the hijack window where I've ticked? There's a 'fix checked' button.
    Cheers

    I think it's gone!!! Thank you so much browntoa!! :T

    I think I must have accidentally downloaded a bit extra software as Advanced Registry Optimizer has appeared - I think I remember seeing it on the hijack programme. Can I go into add/delete, as it is popping up when I switch on?

    Am I ok to use my cards now? I know you've gone too, bet you thought 'she'll be ages doing that lot!!' hence the little :rolleyes: earlier?

    Cheers!:beer:

    if you fix this one

    O4 - HKCU\..\Run: [AROReminder] C:\Program Files\Advanced Registry Optimizer\ARO.exe -rem



    it should rid you of that as well

    go to add/remove programs and make sure it's removed from there as well

    I would make sure spybot is clean on a scan before it's safe to use your cards...otherwise spend away !!
