Hi

Hoping you can help. Have tried most things mentioned on this website to get rid of the pmkjg.dll file which appears to be causing the problem with no success. Am I missing something? Is this a new problem? So many people seem to be having problems with it. Isn't this illegal??

Hi
Thanks for the prompt response.
Have done everything apart from run activescan - can't run this (I presume!) as I am not in the USA - drop down boxes are blank, and it wont let me run the scan until I complete them, so no win situation. Here are the logs:

I think this is the Vundofix logfile - I did save it with todays date but I can't find it now!

Any other nasties in here I should be aware of? Popups seem to have gone now ( )
