You have to contact the owner to advertise. http://www.computerhope.com/cgi-bin/mail.cgi

Thew link is in your profile so if anyone is interested they can just use that one.

hmm, I didn't realize having a link in your signature was considered advertising... doesn't everybody have one?
Regardless.. your forum, your rules, no problem.

Otherwise I hope you didn't have a problem with any of the information I was providing.  That strategy has worked well for me for several years and I began it with no professional experience.  Now as a professional I still find it to be the most effective means of protection for myself and those willing to take the time to try it.

(Nod32 + Spybot + A squared Anti-trojan + Software firewall with manual outgoing policies)  - great when you really need to keep any data from getting out in the event of a trojan infection.

Protection and removal are two different things. If the malware is already there protection is compromised. We deal with a lot of rootkits recently. Special tools are needed to find and remove them.

People have links to their blogs and a few long standing members are allowed to link to their forums. But no commercial links are allowed in signatures.

If the malware is already there protection is compromised.

Indeed - in what I'm describing Eset is your protection and no other active scanners are used.  Firewall prevents virus/trojan-hacker communication if you get infected.  Spybot and A squared are there for cleanup.  If those don't work it's off to safe mode or registry cleaning software.  Forget what I use for that.

Did you read the 3 other pages and see what we have already done.

It's only slow right after the post when it's doing the memory check.

Can you tell me exactly what this means?

Do you mean the computer boots up slow?

Previously when I turned on the computer the memory check counter would spin and complete the task in short order. Next the rest of the boot process would be visible and finally it would start the windows process. Now I turn on the computer and no memory check counter just a long wait. After well over a minute it goes to the windows process but no boot play-by-play on the screen.

I'm not sure about that. Try posting inthe Windows forum and I'm sure someone there will have an idea on what to do.

Thanks for you help.
