Through which port is that connected?

USB, FireWire or something else?

Oops! Sorry, I meant USB instead of DSL. DSL, what was I thinking?

USB.

USB.

Then that could be a possible reason.

You can alos try fixing this with HijackThis:
O4 - HKLM\..\Run: [Blubster] C:\Program Files\Blubster\Blubster.exe SILENT

It is listed as file missing in the silentrunners log
If you still have the program you can start it manually if and when you need it.

Sorry, I'm a bit confused with that.... Should I run HijackThis and remove O4 - HKLM\..\Run: [Blubster] C:\Program Files\Blubster\Blubster.exe SILENT??

[Metallica]

Yes please.

It will only stop it from starting automatically at boot. It won't remove anything.

Regards,

[_Endless_]

Ok...... So I tick the box for that program, then what do I click on?

[Metallica]

Excuse me. I thought you had used HjiackThis before.

Run HijackThis
Put a checkmark before that line
Click "Fix checked"
You will be asked to confirm.

Then reboot and post a new log so I can see if it stays away and let me know if you got the error.

Regards,

[_Endless_]

I have used it before, I just forgot. Maybe I should have looked in my previous posts. Sorry.

I received no error. Log:

Good job.

Now, can you manually start blubster and let me know if that produces the error?

Regards,

[_Endless_]

Ah. I'm sorry for keep asking questions, but how do I do that?

[Metallica]

I have never used the program ,but I imagine there will be a shortcut to it either on your desktop or in the Start > Programs list

If neither exist or can be found click Start > Run and copy this command:
"C:\Program Files\Blubster\Blubster.exe"
then click OK.

Regards,

[_Endless_]

I can't find it. It's not on my desktop, in the Programs list, or by searching.

[Metallica]

And what happens when you try the Start > Run option?

Regards,

[_Endless_]

It says that Windows cannot find the program.

[Metallica]

Good. Then I we may have found the cause.
That program was not present on your computer, but did get started every time your computer booted.

Let me know if the errors continue to appear.
I'll leave this thread open.
