Rock - here's the new log and at the risk of sounding like a broken record - thank you! The file you wanted me to delete: C:\Windows\System\82F4C060.hta was not present. Don't know if this is relevant, but nearly everytime I reboot, I get a message that Stimon has performed an illegal task and has been shutdown.
