Hi again,

Still having some problems with my computer. I run Ad-aware and it comes up with this problem:

Vendor:Windows
Category:Vulnerability
Object Type:RegData
Size:-
Location:SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon "Shell" ()
Last Activity:7-22-2004
Risk LevelLow
Comment:Shell Possibly Compromised
Description:General Windows Security Issue.Your system security may be compromised.

I have Ad-aware fix this and on my next boot it comes back again. I have looked everywere on the internet for a fix, or anyone else with this problem and I came up empty. I did have some trojans, also, but I think I finally rid myself of them. The first was backdoor.mutny and after I finally got rid of it, download.trojan poped up, but I belive I got rid of that one too.
Any thoughts would be great. Thanks alot

Rob

No need to meditate any longer...
Shortly after I posted, norton told me again that it found Backdoor.Mutny in C:\windows\system32\debugg.dll.
So I went back and tried thier instructions on how to get rid of it, but I also deleted some files they say it creates, but they never mention to delete them in there instructions.
Well, since I did that I have not had norton pop up at me and ad-aware comes up clean.
So, thanks for all the help that you were going to give me. And you can save it for next time I screw up my computer.
