AVAST! seems to detect these "decompression bombs" now and then and most often they are harmless. Just large, heavily compressed files.

I'm heading back out the door, but gave your logs a quick look and I do not see much at quick glance.

-- It does look like you came into contact with an infected usb flash drive at some point. You should be careful on that front.

-- Are you able to use System Restore to roll back your machine to an earlier point? (log shows 8-9-08 as viable).


Please hang in there for Judy to have a look and to advise you. I'm not certain when I'll be able to follow up.

Cheers
