Re: Some images displayed while others are not .....Help!

Hello Jan,

Thank you for your suggestions, I ran a scan last night with HiJackThis, a
scan this morning with Trend Micro which came up clean and ran scans in safe
mode with SpyBot, Ad-Aware, and my Antivirus and all came up clean yet the
problem persists. The link to my thread where I posted my HJT log file came
be found here http://forums.spywareinfo.com/index.php?showtopic=68145 ....no
replys to it yet tho I did post a updated reply letting whoever reads it know
that I preformed the scans you suggested with no results. I am at a loss as
to how to fix this problem.
