    Right click on dds/attach/Scan icons, copy. Clicking Paste is greyed out. Using click on either icons opens conent. There is no Attachment facility located at foot of this Reply, as in other Threads.

    You have to open those logs first with Notepad, copy all content.
    Right click inside reply window and click "Paste ".

    Press the [CTRL]+A keys (at the same time) on the keyboard when you have the text file with the log as active window to select all text in the text file, then press [CTRL]+C to copy. Then in a reply window here press [CTRL]+V to paste in the log file.

    I had the same difficulty with another thread, and by using the Attachment at the bottom of the Window, it solved the problem. Unfortunately, there is no Attachment available under the category Malware.

    I have not tried a different Browser, as previously it did not work. If I am correct, this same error cropt up with a previous posting to this Forum caused an identical error.

    I refer back a few months ago, you then mentioned a software called RogueKiller. I installed this software today, installed and ran it. It shows many files, but unsure as to which files be ticked and deleted. I would certainly appreciate your views on this. Thanks Bobby.

    Sorry it proved negative. Reference to RogueKiller 64, it shows files to be PUP and DNS, can they be deleted safely or better ignored. Thanks Bobby.

    Well carried out the latest exercise -- failure.
    Installed sendspace.com and followed instructions;
    Copied the three files successfully.
    Clicked upload button, and all disappeared, clearing the screen. No trace of sendspace anywhere in the computer, plus dds file has joined the set.
    My computer know how is put to the test and I am not at all pleased what people will think in reading this thread.
