just a quick post to say cheers for such a great website - a friend of mine had the 'Dr Watson' 'problem', along with pop-ups coming from IE, along with a hijacked webpage. I came across this website via Google and after registering and downloading the tools for HiJackThis, I studied how other users were helped to fix this problem (ie. by reading through the logs and the solution given in each case), so I could learn how to solve the issue. Well, I am very pleased to say that my friend's computer is back in A1 shape again - no Windows Repair required.
Cheers!
