| Answer» I have been attempting to troubleshoot this for a week USING your guides. Here is the log in normal boot from today. The initial reference safe-mode Hijack log is attached. Please let me know how I can clean up and find leaks in my system. I tried to run Deckard earlier this morning, but I feared changing anything else in fear of damage. Thank you.
 Whatever is on my computer deleted MBAM - and won't allow me to reinstall. Here is the most recent Hijack thist.

 [recovering disk space -- attachment deleted by admin]Disable Spybot's TeaTimer
 
 While TeaTimer is an excellent tool for the prevention of spyware, it can also interfere with normal Windows functions. Disable TeaTimer and see if you get your functions back.
 
 1. Right CLICK Spybot in the System Tray (looks like a calendar with a padlock symbol). Choose Exit Spybot S&D Resident
 2. Run Spybot S&D
 3. Go to the Mode menu, and make sure Advanced Mode is selected.
 4. On the left hand side, choose Tools > Resident
 uncheck Resident TeaTimer and OK  any promptand Restart your computer.
 
 Note: If TeaTimer gives you a warning afterwards that some changes were made, allow this instead of blocking it.
 
 With both TeaTimer and Spybot closed download ResetTeaTimer.zip to the Desktop.
 Unzip the file to the Desktop.
 Double click ResetTeaTimer.bat to remove all entries set by Spybot's TeaTimer.
 Please don't forget this step to disable TeaTimer.
 Delete ResetTeaTimer.zip when complete.
 
 
 If this doesn't help then run the SUPERAntiSpyware scan and post the log.
