Trying to resolve a disappearing win 2000 task manager. I have downloaded and run Spybot search and destroy; Ad-aware; Norton system works; Norton Anti-Virus 2005; Pest Patrol. All were up to date. Many viruses and/or threats were destroyed, some could not be. I have cleaned my recycle bin. I have switched to Mozilla for my browser. Attached is my Hijackthis log.

Owen,

Thank you for your assistance. I was impatient and ended up getting an answer quicker from another forum, Techguy.org. Your response looked very similar, and more complete than their first. Ultimately, my problem was resolved. Thank you again.
