Ok, I use Firefox but my roommate's stuck on IE so the IE thing is really for her.

But as far as seeing the contents of my C:/, I find that really odd. Anyways, here's the log

Welcome to GTG.

I'm almost positive this is a bad file, but let's double check. I want you to upload this file (C:\WINDOWS\help\SECAUTH.HLP) to http://virusscan.jotti.org and report back what it found.

Make sure you turn off any antivirus programs you have running while performing the online scan below. Using Internet Explorer, run a virus scan at http://www.kaspersky.com/virusscanner Click on 'Launch Kaspersky Anti-Virus Web Scanner' and install the ActiveX component from Kaspersky. Click Yes and it will begin downloading the latest definition files. Once that's done, click on 'Scan Settings' and make sure the following are selected:

Scan using the following Anti-Virus database:
- Extended

Scan Options:
- Scan Archives
- Scan Mail Bases

Click OK. Now under select a target to scan, select 'My Computer'. It will start and scan your system. The scan will take a while so be patient and let it run. Once the scan is complete it will display if your system has been infected. Now click on the 'Save as Text' button. Save the file to your desktop. Copy and paste that information in your next post.

Thanks for the welcome.

Using that jotti virus scan, it found nothing concerning that file.

And as far as the other thing, I can't open internet explorer. I'm running on Firefox for now.

Jumped the gun there....I take it back. That file is actually legitimate. Should have taken a minute more to look at it :whistling:

Try this (use the Java version):

Go to http://www.trendmicr...tro/default.asp and click on that link to run the free scan. Check the box to accept the terms of use. Then click on Launching HouseCall button. If you have Java installed, click on the first button (that says Starting HouseCall). Otherwise, choose the second one to download an ActiveX version. You will get a security warning. Click on Run. Under Quick Select, choose the option that scans the whole computer and click Next. The scan should begin. After it's done scanning, get the log and post it here.

Do you get any error message when you try to open Internet Explorer?
