OK. Sygate kept offering me an upgrade to 5.5 firewall. When I tried to install it wouldn't and then dumped my memory to disc. I took my machine to teh shop and they fixed it. Today i booted up and everything was ok for a couple of hours. I did a complete system backup.Now I have a panel saying" Your system low on virtual memory". Running w2k on dellc600 (20meg hdisk), zone alarm pro firewall, and norton 2003'. I have just re-installed my Norton antivirus. In the preinstallation scan it detected Bloodhound w32EP and could not repair. Asking me to delete file but I am reluctant to mess about with stuff and lose the whole lot again.Here-s the log:

Congratulations! Your system is CLEAN

How do you prevent spyware from being installed again? We strongly recommend installing SpywareBlaster (it's free for personal use) Click Here.

Prevent the installation of ActiveX-based spyware, adware, browser hijackers, dialers, and other potentially unwanted pests.
Block spyware/tracking cookies in Internet Explorer and Mozilla/Firefox.
Restrict the actions of potentially dangerous sites in Internet Explorer.
Consumes no system resources.

Download, run, check for updates, download updates, select all, protect against checked. All done. Check for updates every couple of weeks. If you have any errors running the program like a missing file see the link at the bottom of the javacool page.

It's also very important to keep your system up to date to avoid unnecessary security risks. Click Here to make sure that you have the latest patches for Windows.

These next two steps are optional, but will provide the greatest protection.
1. Use ANY browser besides Internet Explorer, almost every exploit is crafted to take advantage of an IE weakness. We usually recommend FireFox .
2. Install Sun's Java. It's much more secure than Microsoft's Java Virtual Machine .

It's okay to delete the Hijack This folder if everything is working okay.

After doing all these, your system will be thoroughly protected from future threats.
