Yes, I have ran them before and did again last night using info from your 2 urls.
No virus found. Some adware were found and removed....still no luck.
I have tried the permissions check in the registry as well as the q905749 update
removal. All the correct services are running. I manually searched for the spyware
files you suggested, none were found. I also looked for the specific values in the
registry for the apropos items, nothing found ( done in safe modse).
Any other ideas?
