I used Avast a number of years ago on my Windows 98SE which had virtually little memory, 30 megs of ram, so I will follow your instructions to the letter and go for Avast. Thanks for your patience in all of this.

I did everything mentioned in relation to disabling various HKCU'S and HKLM's, but when I got to final instruction in that section about NVIDIA when I expanded NVIDIA it doest read "nForce 10/100 Mbps", but reads "NVIDIA Network Bus Enumerator". Please elaborate the difference if any.

Ok did you reboot and carry out the rest of the instructions when you have done everything let me know how things are running.

Also when you get a chance please get me a full farbar service scanner log you seem to have posted only part of it,run it again with all boxes checked and post it here for re-view.

I will be continuing on with the process today. I notice my Internet Call Manager(ICM.EXE) is not there, and also I have lost my Taskbar Toggle for used and unused programs down by the clock.

These are not there due to them not starting up with windows you can always re-enable these with ccleaner if needed.But having anything start-up with windows is not needed and totally up to the user=you.
