Thank you

Still having problems can anyone help?!

I have no real clue yet, but this file looks extremely suspicious:

C:\DOCUME~1\MARK'S~1\LOCALS~1\Temp\Rar$EX19.406\Bitlord Pro (UseNext) incl acount-maker 100% working. Download with ur whole bandwitch. Enjoy\svchost.exe
Normally, this path ends on the file "Bitlord.exe". (And what the heck is a "bandwitch"...:cheesy:)
Upload this file to http://virusscan.jotti.org for an online scan. Just go to that website, click on the "Choose" button on top of the page and navigate to the file, click "Submit" and wait for the result. Please post the result log here. This may or may not be related to your problem, but you should check this.

Thanks Again!
