Despite the wanting to be a denial ... there's always the chance you do actually have a virus (or the after FX of one) but didn't realise it & your present protection didn't pick it up. Norbie will detect it if you're willing to have him check for you. I downlded from his site not only Hijack this ... but also utilities to check unnecessary files in the startup folder, etc. I also use ad-ware & spybot.
