 here's the new log for HJT
 
 [recovering disk space -- attachment deleted by admin]*** Are you familiar with Windows Vista Ultimate Keygen? I'm aware, it's a torrent download, but my question is, if you downloaded it, and why do you need to run it on Windows XP?
 
 *** Download, and run CTFMON-Remover: http://www.gerhard-schlager.at/en/projects/ctfmonremover/
 The CTFMON-Remover helps you removing the annoying CTFMON.EXE from your Windows OPERATING system. The program is easy to use and displays whether the CTFMON.EXE is installed and running or not. If it was found then you can remove it within seconds. Just in case that you need the CTFMON sometime in the future there is ALSO an option to restore the original one.
 Note:The CTFMON.EXE is among other things responsible for changing the language schema of your keyboard (e.g. for switching between the German and English keyboard layout). So in case you are using this feature you shouldn't remove or disable the CTFMON.EXE!

 Leave those programs on your computer. You may occasionally run a scan with Superantispyware, and Malwarebytes.
 Do NOT touch HJT, though, unless asked to. If you PLAY with it, you may end up with unbootable computer.
