Still looking into possibalities, just a quick question. This didn't happen to start at about the same time as you installed/started using the Netgear Wireless Adapter did it??

And in the meantiime I'll look a little deeper into the issue. So basically it locksup when it enters Standby, correct?? and then you have to Hard Boot it?

By the "still doing it" you mean the Standby mode issue right. Well it doesn't APPEAR to be caused by spyware. But let's look a little deeper to make sure. Sorry about the long delay. Not sure what happened. I may have just missed/overlooked/not received the notice of your reply, Delete the Combofix you now and have and get a new/updated copy from HERE and post a fresh log from it along with a log from the following: Download and scan with SUPERAntiSpyware Free for Home Users Double-click SUPERAntiSpyware.exe and use the default settings for installation.

Couple of things regarding Combofix 1) your whole log didn't post..... 2) You are running it from IE. Running from: C:\Documents and Settings\Owner\Local Settings\Temporary Internet Files\Content.IE5\E0SSA7A3\ComboFix[1].exe This is from clicking OPEN instead of Save. Make SURE you save the file to your Desktop and run it from there. and then repost your log

Let's not forget the EVER useful Super Anti-Spyware Fantastic proggie IMHO

Yeah I've used Seamonkey prolly close to 2yrs now.. Went to it when discontinuing Mozilla1.7 was still just a rumour. I won;t use anything else now. The one big downside to it is since it's a full suite the initial loading/startup is a little slower than FF. After initial load it run great. It has an import wizard so you can import both your contacts and Emails. Give 'er a shot...not much to lose in trying it out. I'm glad I did It also has the option to use Enigmamail through/with the Email client for Encryption/Email signing.

Well sometime it is nice to start with a fresh clean install. To reduce the potential for spyware infection in the future, I strongly recommend installing SpywareBlaster and SpyWareGuard and IE/Spyad. SpywareBlaster and SpywareGuard are by JavaCool and both are free programs. SpywareBlaster will prevent spyware from being installed and consumes no system resources. SpywareGuard offers realtime protection from spyware installation attempts. IE/Spyad places over 4000 websites and domains in the IE Restricted list which will severely impair attempts to infect your system. It is free. More info an

Will you check in the C:\Deckard folder and see if there is a copt of the main.txt in there. I'm thinking it maybe got erased from Notepad somehow when it opened. I've never see it create an extra and NOT a main before. Ill post more once I get home from work this afternoon.
