Ok, log looks good how are things with the pc now?
My pc is running a lot smoother now, but I still get that message that says

Internet explorer script error
An error has occurred in the script on this page
Line: 75
Char: 76
Error: Object doesnt support this property or method
Code: 0
URL: http://www.facebook.com/home.php?then it asks Do you want to continue running scripts on this page? I normally click NO and continue, is this normal


Why? Another thing, I wont be using Limewire any more. Do you know what site is the safest to download music with out having to go thru this again? Thanks Dan!
I will need to look into that for you,I don't think it's malware related.
As for p2p sites, it's not so much the sites that are a problem,yes, there are bad sites, it's the files that you don't know the source of.
As for the music, to be honest I'm not too sure.
I will try and catch you tomorrow as have to be up early for work, I need to pay bills also :(
dan
My apology I may of forgot you :( Are you still having any issues apart from your last post?
Its not as bad as before, the pages wont refresh as fast...but still workable :lol:
Can you post a fresh HJT log as its been a few days for me to look over.
Some usefull reading here for you
Heres the HJackthis log you requested....Your tha Man ;)
