    since the last problem i had (autorun.inf) that you guys cleared up for me i'm having a few other annoying glitches that never happened before . .

    > "\services.exe cannot be found" message during startup

    > no longer able to use right click options (copy, paste et.al) while in IE7

    > receive error message th the effect "not enough virtual memory to accomplish task ..." which i never had before (all bulk files, .mp3, .avi are on external drives my main drive only has OS and programs it's 3/4 free . . i know this doesn't strictly affect RAM but justing letting you know)

    > system 'shutdown' is slow

    i ran Avast on all 3 drives with a clean result
    A'squared shows no infection
    Error Repair Pro optimized the registry but solved none of the above problems

    thanx in advance any assistance you guys can provide . .

    In the other thread, I said:
    It's simple. If one infection is found, in 99 out 100 cases, there is more.
    SERVICES.EXE in most cases is not a legit file: http://www.threatexpert.com/files/services.exe.html

    thank you Broni,
    sorry, i misunderstood when you suggested i visit malware and virus removal as a recommendation to go to smartestcomputing.

    i will take your advice immediately and hopefully clear these problems up.
