Dear GeekPolice.
Dell Inspiron 660 fairly new, not usually used for internet traffic, only Windows updates and similar. Occasionally connected to external harddrive to transfer data to another PC. Not networked to another PC. Used for Music and Video work.
A few odd things have started to happen in the last few weeks that lead me to think I have virus on this machine.
1. Opening a txt file with Wordpad, opens the file then a 'Application has stopped working' message appears
2. In Adobe applications when importing a data file the 'open' and 'done' button flash on and off, although they still function. Also the scroll bar is sometimes not functioning. Te cursor movement with the mouse is erratic and difficult to control. The Undo, Redo and History functions are sometimes just not there. I also think I have lost data where I have been taken back to an earlier state, i.e. all edits in the previous hour are suddenly gone.
3.In Windows Explorer, on deleting a file the filename is not removed.
So you can see its a few odd little things going on that shouldn't. I have run the 3 checker as per your instructions and the log files are attached. I am not sure if the files have been attached or not, so as they are small I will paste them below.
Any help would be appreicated
