Hi,
My problem started when the Ctrl+Alt+Del stopped working a few days ago. I tried restoring the file from the windows CD, but even when trying to execute right form its location it doesn't start. Then I updated my TM Pc-Cilin IS 2006 and ran a virus scan. My computer is completely infected with a worm or trojan called GAOBOT.DF. Additionally, Pc CIlin real tiem protection window pops up every 2 minutes telling me that these two spywares, ADW_NDOTNET.O and ADW_SHORTY.E are also acting in my computer.

I am attaching the Hijackthis Log file for my computer so you can check it out too.

Thanks in advance for your time and help!

The problem seemed to be solved! Ctrl-Alt-Del works now and on my last virusscan there were no infections or malwarez detected.

Thank you very very much Howard!

The question now is, which are your suggestions to keep my computer healthy?
