    * Depending on how often you clean temp files, execution time should be anywhere from a few seconds to a minute or two. 
    * Please let TFC run uninterrupted until it is finished.

    Once TFC is finished it should restart your computer. If it does not, please manually restart the computer yourself to ensure a complete cleaning.

      Sorry SuperDave, I sort of took this over after you had done the hard part.  :P


      Use the Secunia Software Inspector to check for out of date software.

      * Click Start Now
      * Check the box next to Enable thorough system inspection.
      * Click Start
      * Allow the scan to finish and scroll down to see if any updates are needed.
      * Update anything listed.

      ----------

      Go to Microsoft Windows Update and get all critical updates.

      ----------

      If you are using or have installed IE6 you are using an outdated and soon to be unsupported version of Internet Explorer and I strongly suggest you update to the latest version directly from Microsoft Internet Explorer 8: Home page.

      ----------

      I recommend you keep SUPERAntiSpyware and Malwarebytes Anti-Malware for scanning/removal of malware. Unless you purchase them, they provide no realtime protection so will not interfere with each other. They do not use any significant amount of resources (except a little disk space) until you run a scan.

      I suggest using WOT - Web of Trust. WOT is a free Internet security addon for your browser. It will keep you safe from online scams, identity theft, spyware, spam, viruses and unreliable shopping sites. WOT warns you before you interact with a risky website. It's easy and it's free.

      SpywareBlaster - Secure your Internet Explorer to make it harder for ActiveX programs to run on your computer. Also stop certain cookies from being added to your computer when running Mozilla based browsers like Firefox.
      * Using SpywareBlaster to protect your computer from Spyware and Malware
      * If you don't know what ActiveX controls are, see here

      Protect yourself against spyware using the Immunize feature in Spybot - Search & Destroy.
      * Guide: Use Spybot's Immunize Feature to prevent spyware infection in real-time. Note: To ensure you have the latest Immunizations always update Spybot - Search & Destroy before Immunizing. Spybot - Search & Destroy FAQ

        See if this hides it.

        1. Open My Computer
        2. Select the Tools menu and click Folder Options
        3. Select the View tab.
        4. Under the Advanced settings box option select the following:
        5. Select Hide extensions for known file types
        6. Select Hide protected operating system files
        7. Select Do not show hidden files and folders
        8. Click OK

        If not just right click it and choose Delete.

          Its not that i want to hid it, i want to know if it is harmful to my coputer.

          also when i started my computer, AVG firewall was automatically disabled. Usually it starts after 5 minutes, but this time i re-enabled it.  Even so can you find out if this is the work of some malware?

          No Thumbs.db is not dangerous but it also shouldn't be showing up on your desktop.

          We just cleaned the computer. Is the firewall staying on now?

            it is now, but right when i turned on my computer it was off. There seems to be a delay of when my firewall comes up.

            Download Security Check by screen317 from one of the following links and save it to your desktop.

            Link 1
            Link 2

            * Unzip SecurityCheck.zip and a folder named Security Check should appear.
            * Open the Security Check folder and double-click Security Check.bat
            * Follow the onscreen instructions inside of the black box.
            * A Notepad document should open automatically called checkup.txt
            * Post the contents of that document in your next reply.

            Note: If a security program requests permission from dig.exe to access the Internet, allow it to do so.

              Log doesn't seen to find anything.  I'll reply tomorrow if Firewall is still delayed.  I'm just afraid that during that time some malware might be receiving files into my computer and my firewall can't do anything about it because it is disabled.
