Yes, I continue to run hijackthis but there has been
nothing to remove since the 1st time I did it (and THEN I
did not do a log). There has never been anything with
look2me actually on my computer whenever I have run
anything...there has just been "other" stuff attaching to
my system. look2me merely pops up when I am online and
disappears...seeming to "look" at what I am up to
quickly. I think it then goes out there and tells others
who attach themselves to my system. That is why I fee at
a standstill.

Thanks again for the information. Is it safe to be
online with my system if I continue to run all the apps
when I go offline (i.e. cwshredder, adware, spybot,
hijackthis, norton)?
