BraveSentry removed? - problems remain

[pkraft]

should I do this before running it again? - RENAME hijackthis.exe to hjtscan.exe or analyze.exe

I have always used the selective startup in msconfig - should I revert to normal startup?

Yes, renaming HijackThis could be helpful and wise and also make sure it is running from its own program folder, ok?
Also, make sure you do not have anything else running in the background when you are running the HJT scan (Safe Mode in a sense helps with that).

Yeah, it could be helpful to see the real deal but not a must-do at this point as long as you knew what you were doing. Curious, what did you disable?
Still, continue with the other instructions I mentioned. Judy is back and she usually runs the Spyware show so if she decides to cut in with her set of instructions, please proceed with her instructions instead, ok?

Otherwise I will do my best to help.
