Hi all,
I’m new here
Last night windows explorer went all jerky (up and down and side to side really fast) so I couldn’t delete temp folder or temp internet file, Other programs like spybot cleaner and many others, I used windows washer 5 and deleted all the folder and shut down my system and turned the power supply off and pressed the start button.
Then rebooted but still the same was happening.
So I shut the system down again and left it till this morning
Fearing the worst I booted up and all was fine (very weird)
So I did a scan with 3 online scanners and they all came up clean also did a scan with Panda Antivirus Platinum Internet Security 2005 which was my system scanner and found nothing (don’t rate panda had it two weeks and nothing but trouble. I’ve uninstalled it now)
I heard about avast and thought I’d try it, I wish I’d try this before buying panda,
Oh well we live and learn
I did a scan with avast and in log file it said it couldn’t scan three file (log file below) Does anyone know if these are harmful or not all so done a hijackthis also below
