Thanks, Broni

I dl'd ComboFix to the desktop - I already have Windows Recovery console installed so if it asks, can I say No , I don't want it ?

How do I disable the AVG temporarily ?

Unfortunately , I have to go to work now ( graveyard worker ) , so I won't be able to run the combofix til sometime tomw. after I wake up

I'll get back to you ASAP and I really appreciate all your help . This forum is a godsend .
