Just wanted to make sure you Windows install was legit. Just in case that was the cause of the problems. Have you tired adding Windows Update to your 'Trusted Sites' list in IE? Make sure you're using IE when trying to access Windows Update. Windows Updates only run in IE so you must be using that. Might want to also really consider getting a firewall (hardware or software) if you don't want to have to really configure one much, get a router, just make sure you disable UPnP. Routers don't affect your system either, so no reason not to have one. B

Ok, few questions... 1. Did you set these as your homepage/search engine? If you didn't set that as your homepage, close all windows and have HJT fix them. Then reboot and post a new log.

I notice you havr Norton Systemworks and avast. Norton Systemworks comes with a firewall doesn't it? (unless you disable it) but in any case it is never a good idea to run two firewalls.

Do you have a firewall? Maybe a router of some sort or some kind of software firewall, that was telling you you're being port scanned? Also, as a note, before you format, you're constantly being pinged/port scanned to some degree. People do ping sweeps to see if a computer will respond to it, if it does they will probably look to get into that machine (at least see if they can), now a good firewall will stay silent and not respond making the person who's doing the scan think there is nothing there and will keep going. But you will always be scanned, just have a good firewall (router that i

Hi and Welcome, Ok, please download and run the following program: http://www.jayloden.com/aimfix.htm Since you can't connect to the internet, you can burn the program to a data cd or put it on a flash drive, then just transfer it to the other pc and run it.

Thank you for the feedback it is much appreciated it. I will work on those suggestions. As for software, I'm still trying to find the perfect software, but as of now, I am using Audacity to record the show (which is working pretty well) and I used Skype to talk to Matt that time. The music I took from the beginning of a song my friend made. B

Hey, We had to switch nameservers as well, so your ISP may be having issues with the dns maybe? I'd wait it out for a few more days, if it doesn't improve let us know. I haven't had any problems yet. B
