You said...
"a blinking cursor on a black screen at the bottom of the program menu and no disk activity
for almost an hour now."
That is abnormal. If you chose "N" (or 'n') from the menu { not Internet connected } then
yoo should go directly into queries about scanning.
There is something wrong... ????

Thanks for the info. I don't know what could be wrong. I followed the
directions and found them simple and easy to follow. For some reason,
this program did not like my PC. What precipitated all this was Avast
finding win32:adware-gen(ADW) and Win32:rootkit-gen(RTK). Avast
recommended I move them to the chest, which I did. Then I ran thorough
scan last night that took hours and the PC was clean. I turned off
system restore before running the scan in safe mode. This morning, I
found win32:trojan-gen and some problem with a Java 1.06 bin file.
What I can't figure out, is that the buggers didn't show up on the
thorough scan last night, but showed up when I ran another scan, "just
to be on the safe side". I hope this is not one of those SP3 for WinXP
related issues. I also have Super-Antispyware that found a couple of
tracking cookies and nothing else; I also ran Ad-Aware and Spybot that
I run faithfully every Saturday and they showed nothing. It was
interesting to note that Avast showed the warning when I was scanning
with SAS...go figure
I thought there was a problem so, and I quit the Sophos scan. I
proceeded to the Trend Micro scan and that ran fine and found no
issues; I started the Kaspersky module, and it's been running since 10
am; it's now 3pm. It's going thru my C drive, but I see a lot of
"error=delete wrong pointer(00000000)" I don't have a clue what that
means or if the scanner is doing it's job with all the errors. I
haven't been able to sit and watch the whole process for all those
hours.
I couldn't tell if my PC was actually infected , but thought I should
do something about the warning messages. Maybe all I should have done
was move the offenders to the chest, but took what I thought was the
safer road, now I'm not so sure.
Thank you David. You provide a great service to those of us with
issues.
