Good mornin' ev'ryone!

I moved HJT...

I couldnt find spyware begone, anywhere, not in add/remove programs, not in program files, so i checked it in HJT.

I went ahead and left the wltrysvc.exe for now, I will disable it later and see what it does, and let everyone know.

//// off topic question: what's a bloke? //////

Here is the new log.

Hi,internetgoddess

Do you have an update for us on this problem

Hi,internetgoddess

Ok now take me step by step as to what happens
is it as soon as you open it or after being online for some time
is it after you go off line.

are you doing anything at the time it happens
downloading going page to page using a chat prog
at what point this happens.

also did you install anything new or remove something
when was the last time you did a Scandisk & Defrag
have you tried deleting the Temp files & old Cookies

talk to me

HGD

only shuts down when going to some links ,have removed all cookies ,temp files,defraged and anything else can think of ,do have some problems with downloads stopping for no reason

Hi,internetgoddess

Here is what i want you to do for me look in one of these
not sure if you are on Home or Pro anyway
i want you to find the HOSTS file & rename it to something
like HOSTS.old

then do a reboot for me goto the sites you are
having the problem with let me know how it gos

Windows XP Home c:\windows\system32\drivers\etc\hosts

Well duh i see you are on XP Home

HGD

Hi,internetgoddess

Sorry to hear it i have been looking for info on this but
i'm not having much luck.

have you tried doing an XP repair but i think you need
to have the XP CD well let me know what you want to
do here so i may look this up for you.

now if you are going to go with a new install
let us know so you can download some software
& back them up so when the install is done
you have all you will need.
