G'Day peoples,

**smug grin**

AVG sent me easy to follow instructions on what to do with a section of the file they sent me. It appears that 5 files where infected (or effected).

And it worked a treat.... All fixed.... Woooo Hooooo....

The download they sent me is HijackThis1991.

I don't know if it generally available (probably is) but if so, I wouldn't be able to interpret the scan results as AVG have done, and work out which components to fix...

Needless to say, I recommend AVG pro... together with their free help service...

Barny, that's a relief. I was already trying to think of a way to fix your computer problems from here, via some incredibly long fix-it arm borrowed from Inspector Gadget.
