Yeah, same with me. The problem has shown with both versions.

I've gone there but I can't find what is your actual problem... I thought it was solved...
GrahamE:
Well, I thought it was as well, that between you and mauserme it had been pretty well decided that I was okay, and that they were just FP's, but...

If you still detecting any strange behavior or even you're sure you're not clean, maybe it will be good to test your machine with anti-rootkit applications (http://www.antirootkit.com/software/index.htm). I suggest AVG, Panda and/or F-Secure BlackLight.

Do any of us said so?

From this I took it that you didn't think that the problem was resolved.
Sorry if you think I've been wasting people's time on this - I get confused quite easily nowadays.

Indeed... to be *sure* you're clean, you need to run more than just one anti-malware tool. Not one software is perfect, neither because the false positives nor the miss-detection. So, that was my advice.

I never think you're wasting our (or anybody else) time. Maybe just misunderstandings from my side.
It's all right, if we rise the doubt we must solve them.
So, after all, why don't you run other security scanning and post the results? ;)

Just for the heck of it why don't you post a HijackThis log. I'm not really expecting to find anything but it can't hurt to check:
Click here to download HJTsetup.exe
[*]Save HJTsetup.exe to your desktop.
[*]Doubleclick on the HJTsetup.exe icon on your desktop.
[*]By default it will install to C:\Program Files\Hijack This.
[*]Continue to click Next in the setup dialogue boxes until you get to the Select Addition Tasks dialogue.
[*]Put a check by Create a desktop icon then click Next again.
[*]Continue to follow the rest of the prompts from there.
[*]At the final dialogue box click Finish and it will launch Hijack This.
[*]Click on the Do a system scan and save a logfile button. It will scan and the log should open in notepad.
[*]Click on "Edit > Select All" then click on "Edit > Copy" to copy the entire contents of the log.
[*]Come back here to this thread and Paste the log in your next reply.
[*]DO NOT have Hijack This fix anything yet. Most of what it finds will be harmless or even required.
