ok, here is the newest hjt log. i was able to get it open in safe mode by copy n pasting into a new folder. i had it analyzed but the very last entry is new and there was no comment regarding it. i even pasted alone and no results. any ideas? you seem to be the only one with any answers lately. thanks again.
