For some reason my pc is saving pictures from the internet as bitmaps not jpegs, i have run all the usual, ad and virus checkers but nothing, there are no newly installed programmes and its really getting on my nerves.

Any ideas what the hell is going on.

could you please post a fresh hijack this log available here so we can check it out for you


thanks

how does this work?

if you download it then run it it will scan your pc for all known spyware and viruses then all you have to do is save the log on to a word document and then just copy and paste it all on to the forum where owen can check it out for you

Is this what you need?

yep

A HJT log isn't needed in this case Spud, beefcurtains1977, open Internet Explorer, click Tools, click Internet Options, click Delete Files, click OK on delete off line content as well and see if the problem is resolved. If not do some reading HERE HTH

oops!

And its a clean log anyway

That worked an absolute treat, had not even considered it was something that simple, but hey thats always the way isn't it?

Many thanks guys.
