Hey Michelle,

i have a question about this file : O4 - HKLM\..\Run: [NvCplDaemon] RUNDLL32.EXE C:\WINDOWS\system32\NvCpl.dll,NvStartup

when i open the registry and go to Run through currentversion...it is always there...what kind of file is it?......is it normal to be there?

It is perfectly normal that it is on startup. It's for nVidia graphic cards:

"Intializes the clock and memory settings on nVidia based graphics cards."



It looks good! How is it running??

You're very welcome!

Congratulations your log is clean! Great job on the clean up

I recommend checking the http://www.microsoft.com website periodically for critical updates to install.

Here are some tips, to reduce the potential for spyware infection in the future, I strongly recommend installing the following applications (be sure to go through the whole list! A firewall is definitely something you need!):

Ewido Security Suite <= Protection against Trojans, Worms, Dialers, Hijackers, Spyware, and Keyloggers.

CleanUp! <= to clear your temporary files periodically to clear out items that may hide in their as well as free some disk space.

ActiveScan <= To check your system periodically for viruses that may not be picked up by your in-system virus-scan.

Detect and Remove Programs:

• How to use Ad-Aware to remove Spyware <= If you suspect that you have spyware installed on your computer, here are instructions on how to download, install and then use Ad-Aware.
• How to use Spybot to remove Spyware <= If you suspect that you have spyware installed on your computer, here are instructions on how to download, install and then use Spybot. Similar to Ad-Aware, I strongly recommend both to catch most spyware.

Prevention Programs:

• Spywareblaster <= SpywareBlaster will prevent spyware from being installed.
• Spywareguard <= SpywareGuard offers realtime protection from spyware installation attempts.
• MVPS Hosts file <= The MVPS Hosts file replaces your current HOSTS file with one containing well known ad sites etc. Basically, this prevents your computer from connecting to those sites by redirecting them to 127.0.0.1 which is your local computer
• Google Toolbar <= Get the free google toolbar to help stop pop up windows.

Other necessary Programs:

• Firewall<= A firewall is definitely a MUST have. Two good free versions are Sygate and ZoneLabs.
