I tried that and it seemed to work fine - no product key asked for, I only had to enter in some letters I saw on screen! The Symantec thing has gone from the list but the Install Driver Table Manager one is still there, despite me ticking it and ticking check fixed EVERY time I run a log. Here is the latest - looks much better and I can't see anything other than that one which shouldn't be there.

Cheers :)

Eek, sounds complicated! I know all about starting in safe mode (although I can't recall now which key/s you hold down to do so) but then would I run hijack this the same way? Is this pesky won't-go-away file likely to cause any harm or make things run very slowly if I pretended it wasn't there?

Between you and me, I think I'll leave well enough alone for now, unless someone else comes on here and says "DO IT!!!"

Thanks for all your help, I now have a relatively crap-free computer!
