Sorry everyone, l wasn't trying to cause an "argument"!
I'm no computer whizz so use this function purely as a guide, and l check up on what it makes suggestions to do.
It has never let me down thus far and after running HJT through C_Hopes' scanner on the odd occasion, which l have the utmost faith in, there has definitely been a few errors flagged that needed deletion.
As to the question what am l trying to do - Well l know what programs are in my startup via msconfig, but l use the HJT scanner to detect possible problems that certain programs may slip in via the back door!
Anyway, l'm happy to have the link back, and don't worry, will not delete anything until l check it out first.
Many thanks to all.
