Solved: Getplus
Everytime I open my user screen, I am getting an error box that reads:
Advanced INF Install
Error could not locate
C:\WINDOWS\inf\GETPLUSo.INF

I don't know what to do to get rid of this...
Here is my HJT log
Any advice is appreciated.
Also while I am asking ??? Should I download and run the registry cleaner at the top of this screen?
Is TSG recommending it or is it pctools who recommends it?
Thank you all!
Edit: oops, forgot to paste! LOL

Temporarily disable SpyBot's TeaTimer:

Open Spybot and click on Mode and check Advanced Mode
Check yes to next window.
Click on Tools in bottom left hand corner.
Click on System Startup icon.
Uncheck Teatimer box.
Click Allow Change box.

Rescan with Hijack This.
Close all browser windows except Hijack This.
Put a check mark beside these entries and click "Fix Checked".

Reboot.

The weirdest thing just happened...I was just getting ready to thank you for the help, everything worked just like it was supposed to...I clicked on "Post a reply" and my browser instantly closed, went straight to the desktop, the mouse pointer froze, ctrl-alt-del produced NOTHING, I had to reset the comp.
Secondly...when you reset like that aren't you supposed to get a windows screen telling you that due to the nature of the shutdown scandisk needs to run...or something to that effect. That didn't happen either.
Re-booted normally and here I am. Weird!
Thanks again!

That is weird. But glad everything is okay now.
I've noticed when I do hard shutdowns, that it does not give me any error about an improper shutdown. At least with XP.
When I do it on an old 98 machine of mine, it will say it though.
