I don't know how I saw it in that unreadable mess, but your email has been removed. This is a public forum. Please communicate in the forum. It will keep you from getting spammed, too.

Your second post was much clearer and easier to read. Some spaces would make things easier to read, and well as paragraphs. It was just all mashed together.

What operating system do you have? I'll move you to the right forum.

Also, you shouldn't type in all caps as that is considered shouting in the cyber world and also makes it more difficult to read. I see you've corrected that now but just wanted to mention the reasoning.

Your new thread is also in the wrong forum so I've moved it to the Malware Removal & HijackThis Logs forum which is where things go that deal with malware.

I'll close this one now.
