    Hey folks, it's been a while but I need your help again--up front is my thanks to you all for all your hard work.

    In short I recognized a problem w/ McAfee site advisor uninstall.exe; COMODO and WinPatrol a great asset.

    AVG 7.5 free (I need to update)
    CCleaner complied with (c/w).  No problem but I should have saved before deleting notes from the list of registry changes.  My bad!
    SuperAntispyware c/w, no problem.
    MBAM had nothing to I.D.
    Java c/w.
    Dr.WebCureit.csv see attachment.  I don't know why is rears itself as an Exel file but I transcribed this anyway from the results:

    (McAfee Site Advisor icon 'M')0122081218004538mcinst.exe I think is said it was an uninstaller.exe

    I was unsure how to navigate web Dr.cureit and am completely unsure if I quarantined and deleted the 'probable BACKDOOR Tro'.

    Please review HJT and once again thanks.

    Finally?  How does HJT get it's v. updates to me?

    Your Java needs to be updated, but other than that, I don't see much in your log.  What exactly is the problem?  From your post, it sounds like you found a file, but I don't know what's wrong here.

    Finally?  How does HJT get it's v. updates to me?
    HJT doesn't get updates.

      The Problem?  Yesterday WinPatrol & COMODO were ID'ing some changes they wanted me to except or deny.  They had something to do with the MaCFee site advisor; an uninstaller.exe.  I thought I denied the changes but then seen that the advisor wasn't operating anymore.  There was odd changes in internet speed and just everything else remained slow; I was unable to access some files for example; my saved Drcureit.exe file and the site advisor .exe files to run.  I'd also seen that Window's firewall was turned back on.  After turning it off I was able to access the web, update drcureit and reinstall McAfree site advisor.

      I ran the gammet of security programs and finally Drcureit caught something I assume was repaired but was unsure.  Apparently by your viewing the attachments you deem my problems may be solved? 

      Might there be anything else I should look at to ensure I'm cured?  That's all I can think of.

      You can go through the whole procedure if you want.

        I thought I originally did go through the whole procedure save, my Java updates are scheduled for the eleventh day of the month.  I since went to the control page and resolved the issue. 

        Looks like we sucessfully solved a problem.  I wouldn't have been able to do so if I never knew about CH.

        You can post the MBAM and SAS logs but you don't have to if you want.

          I would want to supply those logs but when the files were ran and they indicated nothing to identify, they don't offer a .log file to prove they didn't find anything.  I believe in the original thread I post all the files I ran. 

          Is there anything else you think I should do; I've not a problem at all following the rules?  I learn something new everytime I approach you guy's with my PC problems.  I wish I was badware savvy, I'd apply to be on your team.

          Well, your logs are showing up clean and your problem doesn't appear to persist any longer.  But just to be on the safe side, go ahead and download ComboFix and save it to your desktop.  Run the program and read its disclaimer (it's fairly short) and make sure you really pay attention to what it says.  Follow the prompts and when finished, it will produce a log at C:\ComboFix.txt.  Go ahead and post that here.  Note: Don't click on the window while it's running; this may cause stalls.

            OK.

            I will do it but will have to wait till tomorrow as I have to go out of town again. Till I get back; keep this thread open. 

            I believe the PC is cleaned but I don't want to lose your attention.  You are valued, I appreciate your talent.
