No scanning or utilities can detect all hijackware, Terry. Get over it.

Spoken like a true xenophobe.

Hi Gary,

I worked on the workstation today. After it has been running a week, I
checked running processes and there were no IE processes running. So I
launched IE, nothing, dbl-clicked again, nothing. Checked TM and two
processes were running. So IE was "broke" somehow. Rather than run
SFC, I installed SP3 (since it took as long) and everything works fine
now. IE opens and exits properly.

Thanks for taking an interest,

Usually I see you helpful. I don't know where I've ruffled your
feathers, but you're the one that needs to get over it. I resolved the
issue and malware had nothing to do with it, as I told you in the first
place.

Que lastima. Bear, You don't know me. And you couldn't be more wrong.
But considering that you've been wrong the complete time you've
responded to me, I'll take that as you having an off week/month.

Problem has been resolved, and as I told you in the beginning, malware
wasn't the issue. You're not the only one who's been around for a while.

I'll take an apology any time.
