I'm new to all this stuff & have seen all these HJT logs. So I ran a scan just for curiosity. When I saw the results I thought I should submit it for an experts advice. I've run all the basic scans with AVG, Avast, Spybot S&D, adaware, a-squared, & the microsoft Anti- virus. They all came up clean. I'm mostly curious about all the 018-Protocol.... Am I being overly paranoid? Is it maybe a certain setting on my computer causing this? It just seems kind of weird!!! Thanx in advance for any info.
