Hi davec603,

I'm sorry it's taken so long for you to get a response.

I can't see any signs of malware in your HijackThis log. That doesn't guarantee your machine is clean of malware, but it's a good sign. As you have just reformatted I think it's very unlikely that the problems you are experiencing are malware-related.

For help with non-malware-related issues, I recommend you try posting at a general troubleshooting forum like WhatTheTech or PC Pitstop. The experts at these forums specialize in this type of problem so you will be in good hands.

Please let me know if we can be of further assistance.
Do you still need help with your machine?

If the instructions are unclear or something isn't working, please let me know before proceeding.
Due to a Lack of Response this topic is now closed.

If you still require help, please open a new thread in the Malware Removal forum.

If you have been helped and wish to donate to help with the costs of this volunteer site,
