HiJack Log

DukeDevils9192 · 27th November 2004

This Windows ME computer has given me tons of trouble. I had 803 things detected by Adaware only a few nights ago. I also did a Spybot and virus (Panda Online and AVG) scan. Today, I had 300 things detected by Adaware, several Spybot entries, and about 50 viruses.

So, I'm thinking maybe there's something in the HiJack log that someone can locate. It's making me so angry.

I've also got something called "ws2ml" that starts with my computer and always freezes. Any idea what that is?

Also see you are running NAV and AVG anti virus programs together. Not a good idea as they don't always play together very well.

Disable one or the other in msconfig. No need to uninstall, just don't run both together. You can use one or the other for backup checking.
