Don't remember how many files/items were scanned on the C drive, several hundred thousands, took over an hour and never froze up. Same thing when I scanned the H drive. Quick Scan scanned over 6,400 files/items in one or two minutes, always list port 9999 which is used by Anonymizer proxy, nothing listed in the log though.
I'm not sure of the relationship, if any, between the Error, Trojan found, Dr Watson and the Select Folder Window problem that now creates the error, but my whole system runs great since Dr Watson was disabled, especially Firefox. The suggestion to disable it came from Microsoft with links to article, after I decided to send the error via their auto error reporting tool. I was getting to many errors and the PC was locking up.
As before, the error is now created by using the slider or scrolling from within the Select Folder window. It will happen twice before not appearing again. If I don't scroll, no error. As I said before, both InstaBack and TH blink as if refreshing each time I close the error.
I'm fairly sure there was some conflict between Trojan Hunter, McAfee, and Spy Sweeper when the Trojan was identified.
I don't know were the Trojan came from, first I've ever had if over fifteen years. Never had a virus or spyware installed and get very little spam. Something must be working right.
