    Possible virus with Task bar
    « on: December 26, 2008, 04:21:05 AM »
    Hi

    I'm using a Toshiba Satellite Pro laptop with Windows XP Professional.   My antivirus software is the latest free version of Avast. 

    My problem at the minute is quite strange.  I was using Bittorrent and any time i tried to open it, it appeared on the taskbar but i couldn't open it.  The same problem happens with firefox when i close it.  I can open firefox and then when closing it down a tab for clear browser history appears on the taskbar but i can't open it. I click on it but it wont enlarge.  There are a few other programs which also have this problem such as msn messenger.  I can open the program but cant open any messages, they appear on the task bar but there is nothing i can do to open them.   I'm not sure if this is related to a virus or could it be related to a RAM problem?

    I've attached the required log files for your attention and I really appreciate any help you can offer. 


    You guys do amazing work! Thanks so much.

    Hi again, anyone got any ideas?   How about the log files, are they at least clean? Could it be a problem with some settings? I've also tried to use TVU and spocast (TV software) and they will open but i always  get the error message "An error has occurred in the script of this page" - "Do you want to continue running scripts on this page - yes or no"   Clicking yes doesn't work

    Thanks again

    Sorry for the long wait.  We are VERY backed-up right now!  I don't see much in your logs, but if you still require assistance, please post new logs and we'll see what we can do.  If we have updated logs, we can see if any changes have been made.
