Welcome,

You can post a Hijack log for an expert to look at.

If you have backups of your data and you want to format then that would clean the system out too.

Welcome to TSG....

To download HJTsetup.exe To Download HijackThis go to the following: http://www.thespykiller.co.uk/forum/index.php?action=tpmod;dl=item5
Filename = 1137518044HJTsetup.exe

Save the file to your desktop.
Double click on the HJTsetup.exe icon on your desktop.
By default it will install to C:\Program Files\HijackThis.
Continue to click Next in the setup dialog boxes until you get to the Select Additional Tasks dialog.
Put a check by Create a desktop icon then click Next again.
Continue to follow the rest of the prompts from there.
At the final dialog box click Finish and it will launch Hijack This.
Click on the Do a system scan and save a log file button. It will scan and then ask you to save the log.
Click Save to save the log file and then the log will open in notepad.
At the top of the Notepad HJT log screen, hit Edit then Select All then click Edit and then click Copy doing that copies the text to the clipboard, you won't see it yet....
Come back here to this thread and Paste the log in your next reply. DO NOT have Hijack This fix anything yet. Most of what it finds will be harmless or even required.

A security expert should take a look at your log - please be patient.

most likely he reinstalled windows over the top, creating a new profile. Anything that was tweaked in the old will have to be done again in the new, I would assume. At least that what it SOUNDS like, he tweaked the c.p. icon......could be wrong, though.

Where'd you get that 'soft copy' of windows?

and when you DO do the reinstall, don't use the copy you made; use the original, and you won't have any problems. Use the copy, you are going to have problems. It's sort of illegal to copy those anyhow, so it's not a good practice to get into.
