    Don't do anything else, but only what I ask you to.
    Where is that scan from?
    "catchme" is a part of Combofix, so no worries here.
    That's one of the reasons, I don't want you to stray from my instructions.

    the scan came from Spyware Doctor, I installed when I started having all these issues. Those entries are in quarentine, should the be restored?

    Thanks

    Leave them alone.
    Follow instructions from my reply #18.

    Update Adobe Reader

    You can download it from http://www.adobe.com/products/acrobat/readstep2.html
    After installing the latest Adobe Reader, uninstall all previous versions.
    Note. If you already have Adobe Photoshop® Album Starter Edition installed or do not wish to have it installed UNcheck the box which says Also Download Adobe Photoshop® Album Starter Edition.

    Alternatively, you can uninstall Adobe Reader (33.5 MB), download and install Foxit PDF Reader(3.5MB) from HERE.
    It's a much smaller file to download and uses a lot less resources than Adobe Reader.
    Note: When installing FoxitReader, make sure to UN-check any pre-checked toolbar, or other garbage.

    Thank you very much....

    I greatly appreciate this fruitful exchange; it has resulted in the cleanup of my system. Computer is great, none of the issues I had previously are present anymore.

    I will definitely spread the word among my colleagues.
