Hello and Greetings Again BrianO!
Ole' EASTER here. Just some useful advice for you. Don't hold off or wait too awful long on that HJT Log.
After all these years and all this time the internet still floats some pretty mean crud in the form of many new viruses and spikeware LoL
Had something drop right in my lap recently myself, C:/ folder that is, had it not been for KERIO firewall alerting me to an OUTGOING TRANSMISSION request from a loader.exe i
would no doubt still be fishing out all the extra bugs they can unleash on you. All it takes is one OUTGOING to make a successfull INCOMING, and you got more than a single issue on your hands plus plenty of additional time and effort spent cleaning up after them. :thumbsup:
