Thats it besides looking at the links. Cookies are nothing to worry about. Some people like to make a lot of noise about them but all they are is small .txt files. They can't do any harm. Check this out: Are cookies really spyware and are they dangerous?

Run CCleaner occasionally, once a day if you like to keep all of the junk out.

Glad everything is back to normal. Let us know if anything else pops up.

Thats good news. I want you know that Im really REALLY grateful for the knowledge. Youre a genius, and very impressive. This website is really sweet. Its refreshing to get something for free these days. Just checking a bag on the airplane costs money, ya know. I will recommend this site, and drop your name to anyone I know that gets in trouble. Thanks again!!!

MalwareBytes ANTI Malware

I have upgraded to AVG 8.0. Will that alone be sufficient protection? Also, the super anti spyware has two infected files in quarantine. Is it better to remove (delete) or restore?  Seems like deleting is an obvious choice it it was found to be infected. I dont understand why I would restore suh a file

Empty the quarantine.

Uninstall HijackThis.

Run scans with SAS and MBAB every other week or so.
