    Two questions, did you use AVG in safe mode as above

    did you turn off system restore before using Adaware then turn it back on

    i.e right click my computer icon, properties,system restore,turn off
    run a scan then turn back on.


    Yeah i ran it twice in safe mode and i turned off system restore aswell...no virus or anything found. Ok for me to turn back on now?

    BTW - when in safe mode, it says that there are two user accounts, one is called Administrator and the other on Kapow

    But when i boot normally, again two user accounts, but this time its two i recognise, kapow and guest (which is turned off) where as administrator doesnt come up?!?!

    Is this nromal activity?

    I ran the scans in both accounts just in case.

    LOL AOHell i didnt realise AOL was so bad?! A bit like Dell i presume lol anyway how do i turn off the INFRARED MONITOR?

    If you're on XP.. click Start - Run and type in services.msc and scroll down to find Infrared Monitor. Right click, properties and choose Stop and change it to Manual, if its Automatic. Bit of a stab in the dark to be honest, but no need for it to be running!
