Hello there,

I think I have malware on my system. My computer is logging off the internet when I don't want to and I can't open certain programs sometimes and other times it will let me open the programs. I was wondering if you could check this logfile and see if anything should be fixed or removed. Thank you.

Hi,

Both Symantec Antivirus and Trend Micro PC-cillin Internet Security appear to be outdated. Do you have valid license for either of these?
Hello,
The Symantec Antivrus was downloaded by some friends of mine and the PC Cillin I purchased with the computer. The PC Cillin can be updated but I believe I must pay for an update of the Symantec Antivrus.
Hi,

You should have only one antivirus installed there. If you don't have license for Symantec Antivirus then better uninstall it. You need to update PC Cillin. Outdated antivirus program doesn't help in catching the latest infections.
