[QUOTE="FredricJLowe, post: 298199, member: 30586"] Same issues remain from this morning: [B]1) Web bar encountered a problem and need to restart." I tried cliking "ok"[/B] but it kept coming back, so I hit canceled and everything loaded. 2) Windows Gadgets still doesn't load automatically. Yesterday after rebooting gadgets was loading perfectly fine. [B] 3) Google Chrome[/B] [B]and had the same issue when the dllhost.exe 32 COM Surrogate virus was still present. This is the same error message this mornng, "Google cannot read and write to this directory C:Users\FredricJLowe\AppData\Local\Google\Chrome\UserData" A 4) Firefox it said, "Your Firefox profile cannot be loaded. It may be missing or inaccessible." The only thing I did last night was reinstall and run Spybot Search and Destroy and it found and deleted 15 tracking cookies. This morning prior to running your scan with ZOEK, I uninstalled it as you asked to turn off Antispyware. But the issues persisted. But last night all of the above were working. What could have changed overnight when I rebooted this morning to cause them from being able to be accessed. I even noticed a few shortcut website icons changed as well and are not able to open. But last night, their normal icons were fixed on these 2 and opened. So somehow this is all related. But ACT! works fine, as does Microsoft Office, both of which were not yesterday when the viruses were still present.[/B] [/QUOTE]
