OK, done, lots of thingies removed, including any trace of the WebRebates for the moment. Thank you all for the assistance.
Just for my education, why the Safe Mode start? I noticed it said it was bypassing startup processes, I assume it's something to do with that? Was the Webrebates in my startup somewhere so I couldn't delete it from within Windows in normal mode because it was already running?
Anyway, here's the final HJT log for a final check. Any other thoughts on the Realsched.exe file that SoftTop mentioned? I only use Real Player for files that have to have it to watch.
Thanks again one and all. Great advice as usual. :ok:
