Hi there, My friend is having trouble with his laptop. He has some viruses and it's gotten pretty bad. His administrator rights have been screwed up so he is unable to do a number of things such as open Control Panel, connect to the internet, use System Configuration (msconfig) etc. I have attached a HiJackThis Log from his laptop. Hopefully it will be of some use to you.

Hey, Thanks for the reply. I'll post a new log here as soon as I get through to my friend who is having the problem. Thanks again and sorry for making you wait. Roz
