Hello. As you suggested, I scanned with HiJack This. It won't save the log successfully.
When I try to save, for some reason Kodak Imaging opens to "read" the file...and
it can't. I have Notepad open and ready to go, but can't get any further. Of a very
related matter: There is an item called PurityScan that has recently arrived and
has been identified by Spybot. I delete it with Spybot, but it is found again when
I run Spybot again...apparently not really deleted. My recent problems began when
PurityScan arrived. Spybot lists it as: PurityScan: Software HKEY_USERS\.DEFAULT\Software\PurityScan
It's referred to as a Registry Key. PopUPs now even occured when I have the Internet
shut down!! Thank you for helping. Bob
