Windows "My Computer" is... "broken"

[Deleted member 77746]

everyone's opinion = it's crap

This is YOUR opinion.

-don't install viruses in the first place and you won't get these problems

This is abit stupid to say, most of the time you can't stop something installing it if it does it itself.

This is YOUR opinion..

make a poll, i'm right

CCLeaner Lite? It's lite enough on the normal one?

This is YOUR opinion.

It's his opinion, but it's also the opinion of many, many others... AVG is rubbish.

Well, as requested before:
I have run all of the above suggested programs and they all report me as "clean".

The Hijackthis paste can be seen below.

Hopefully this is the end of it I guess I'll be more careful in the future - although not knowing where the infection came from in the first place makes it harder to stop future infection.... avast! seems okay for now so I'll leave that installed.

Thanks again to those who've helped.

CCLeaner Lite? It's lite enough on the normal one?

slim comes with english only and doesn't come bundled with the stupid (yet optional) yahoo toolbar

 

[bledd]

all safe according to this (and a quick glance of them)
http://hijackthis.de/


this tool stops general crapware, like google updater, quicktime, msn from loading at startup -each one has a setting after you scan

AVG is 'okay', not the best but it's not completely useless.

I don't use it, however.
