Carol,
Thanks very much for your time and assistance on this problem. I must confess I didn't
run the link you gave but will do so tonight after I have carried out the other instructions.
I ran a program last night, registry mechanic I think it was, and it threw up like
in excess of 500 problems with my registry! Unfortunately the free version of the
program only removed about 100 odds of them! I also downloaded Spybot Search and
Destroy although havn't ran it yet to see what it can do.
I have resorted to a previous registry using the scanreg/restore method but the illegal
operation messages are still coming on startup. I can get onto the computer still
although sometimes I have to startup like 5 or 6 times before resorting to a previous
registry just to get on!!!
Perhaps you can answer a few quick questions for me:
Does my HJT log show that I still have the Bube virus?
If I start using Firefox and delete IE from my system will the virus go with IE?
I was given this computer some time ago by a relative and really had no idea about
windows updates. Someone else advised that I run my updates ASAP. So I went to the
updates and there were about 45 of them! Im using dial up so no doubt you can appreciate
that this will take a very very long time in downloading!!! I assume that I should
continue with this anyway??
Again Carol, cheers for your help.
