It was weird - Microsoft AntiSpyware popped up with an infection a couple of days ago (Wednesday, I think). I didn't attempt to do anything (quarantine or remove it) and the next night's scan showed nothing. Today's scan showed nothing.

I'm beginning to believe MS is the culprit here. Big surprise, right?!?!

Thanks for looking!

Help? Anyone? :unsure:

This morning, Microsoft's scan showed no sign of CWS. I did nothing yesterday to attempt to remedy the situation. Here's today's HJT log:

CWS.startpage is back - I didn't download anything new except for Spyware Guard. My husband hasn't had time to be on the computer, and he knows better than to download anything. Help!
