I tried as you suggested. Still couldn't save HJT to Notepad. Went into REGEDIT and
followed instructions as best as they were laid out. I've found a "new" item in my
startup that is suspect...(it's included in the log from HJT). Specifically: HKCU\..\run:[Rtrr]C:\windows\Application
Data\hawh.exe It's the Hawh that appeared in my Startup programs (when I push Alt/Ctrl/Del).
Should I attempt to eliminate the hawh.exe via HJT and/or Regedit?
