you can remove that, but you don't have anything bad or problematic there. Very odd ...have to do some checking around.

I tried to run Spybot (i find it a bit kung fu and over zealous but thought i'd try it !), it would let me download it but not run - might not be 64bit compatible though ?

[godsdog]

The home of Spybot-S&D! <- In true brain dead fashion it doesn't say, so I would say no. But I know the free SUPERAntiSpyware.com - Downloads does. So try that, it's a good free cleaner. But I wouldn't stress anyway, the log is clean. I just can't piece together the Watson client ad message, it must slide in with the new messenger Live on Vista 64 bit (because I haven't seen it elsewhere).

Thanks for your help again duder ! I did a scan with the anti spyware and nothing showed - it does'nt accept any active x either so i think the installations corrupted and am about to give up and nuke and re-install !! Very weird to be honest the whole thing !!!

[Colossous]

Yee hah - back of the net !!!!

I did a sys restore to over a week ago and it worked !! I think it could have been the active X controllers that messed up and killed MSN at a later date so when i did the sys restore to 5 days ago before it did'nt work but i went back further and it did !! Sorry for the drawn out affair guys - i was starting to think i had a 64bit Vista problem but it might come in handy to know if anyone else has weird probs with MSN !!

Out of interest Colossous, just post a new HijackThis log for me please thank you.

Same stuff. Still clean.

You can remove...

it's not that important though.
