Hey guys, I just recently reformatted my pc due to an infection, and I am wondering if I am infected again already..

Recently I have not been able to install 2 programs.
Armed Assault demo , and Americas Army.

For armed assault after I installed, it said it was missing a dll.. So I tried downloading it for 3 other sources, same affect.

For Americas Army after it finished extractiing it said that it could not access windows installer?

I don't know wtf is going on..
I would post a HijackThis log but I do not know where to re-download it.

Thx

I don't know anything about Norton AnitBot so I can't offer an opinion. THe log is clean, but lets check a startup list.


Please download SilentRunners from here:
http://www.silentrunners.org/Silent%20Runners.zip

Unzip it to the desktop and double-click on it.
Silent Runners will ask if you want to skip the supplementary search.
Please select 'No' to include them.
The program will take longer to run, but will give us more information.

If you get any kind of warning message about scripts, please choose to allow the script to run.

When the scan is finished, a message will pop up and a logfile will have been created on the desktop.
The logfile is named 'Startup Programs' by default and will be located where the program is.

Please post the entire contents of this logfile for me to see.
