Will you please install mbam, update and scan, Do nothing of course and
post the logfile? Really. I can't do much to help you or determine the
cause of the issues without it.

We don't lie about anything in the program sir. Malwarebytes is fast
becoming the defacto standard first run utility in the fight against
malware in many of the forum help groups. We have very few false positive
issues that could result in any harm. Again, if you will provide the
logfile, I can see that this issue is resolved, if one exists.

I tell you what, If you'd be willing to help me resolve the issue, I'll
see that you get a free registration key out of it. Deal?
