Ok - did the following as per your instructions and while no viruses were
found durind safeboot, upon re-running Trend Micro's sysclean in normal
mode, Avast found the vbs.redlof virus in the sysclean.exe file, which I
understand has happened before to several people. I was able to move it to
the chest, though. I'm assuming this is a false positive - correct? I'm
running a Windows 2000 Pro OS.


Anyway, here's the only errors in the sysclean log. These errors occurred
in both the safe and normal boots. I substituted admin for the name of the
user:
