[QUOTE="ziggy783, post: 59024, member: 1714"] Just thought I'd give an update (so as to not give the impression that I forgot about finishing this). So here is what happened: - I ran an express scan with Dr. Web Cureit. This actually took quite a long time (perhaps even more than an hour or two -- not sure because I just left it running without supervising the whole process). - I then attempted to run the complete scan. The first time I tried, when I clicked "yes to all" when prompted about the first finding, the computer actually crashed (blue screen of death, memory dump). After a restart, I did the express scan again (which took quite a while again), followed by a complete scan (this took nearly 20 hours!). At the end, I don't know if I goofed up because I clicked "select all" (I think there were 3-4 items detected) and then I had a choice between "cure" "move" or "delete" and an error frame popped up. Then I tried to save the report but an other error frame popped up, and the program shut down. When I clicked Dr. Web CureIt again I would have been forcred to at least run an express scan again. Just wanted to see what you'd advise doing. I have not yet run the ESET online scanner. I alsoe have not yet visited the security configuration forum to install a new firewall protection. I should note that upon restarting (after the Dr. Web CureIt scans) the internet is still working. [/QUOTE]
