I don't see any Malware / virus. But we are only looking at a hijackthis log from Safe Mode, and Malwarebytes only ran for 14 Mins? I see an out of date computer. adobe 7! Java 1.5! IE6! Then McAfee is that up to date? For starters I would go into your add/remove programs list and remove Adobe. We can get you another reader later. Then remove all versions of Java from the add / remove programs. The only version there should be Version 6 u_18. Remove all others. Then install IE7, http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyId=9AE91EBE-3385-447C-8A30-081805B2F90B&displaylang=en You said yourself your getting Internet Explorer is not responding errors Then I would download Avast 5.0, to the desktop, don't install it yet. http://www.avast.com/free-antivirus-download Now I would run the McAfee removal tool, http://service.mcafee.com/FAQDocument.aspx?id=TS100507 When that finishes double click the Avast that you downloaded before and install it AND SCAN WITH IT TOO. After we can remove some 04 entries in hijackthis log. Unnecessary Start ups. Up date Java , Get a reader program for pdf files. Run some cleaners, ccleaner ect. Good luck you have a lot to do. Don't surf The Internet in Safe Mode no Virus protection in that mode....Just go to links provided and get Avast installed after McAfee is removed.

You must move away from IE6 you are leaving your self wide open to vulnerbilities, it is no longer supported and most websites no longer support it so many will not render properly using IE6. There is just no good reason not to update to at the very least IE7, since you have xp you can not use IE9 but you could do IE7 or 8. Here is the link to all versions of IE please update. http://windows.microsoft.com/en-US/internet-explorer/downloads/ie You are leaving the car doors open with the keys in the ignition. I fear you may also have not done other very important updates including java, adobe and flash, all of which can leave you wide open too. Use this tool to see what needs updating and by all means if you have old versions of java on your pc you MUST remove them you can either do that through add remove programs or use JavaRA to do it. Secunia Online Software Inspector (OSI) JavaRA Here is a link that might be useful: IE versions

Sorry to have to post this here; I am still unable to register at Landzdown. If someone could post this over there, I'd appreciate it very much. I completed the instructions, and had just copied the combofix log and was about to post it here when the screen suddenly went black and then the blue screen came on. It says: A Problem has been detected and windows has been shut down to prevent damage to your computer. BAD_POOL-CALLER If this is the first time you've seen this stop error screen, restart your computer. If this screen appears again, follow these steps: Check to make sure any new hardware or softwar is properly installed. If this is a new installation, ask your hardware or software manufacturer for any windows jupdates you might need. If problems continue, disable or remove any newly installed hardware or software. Disable BIOS memory options such as caching or shadowing. If you need to use safe mode to remove or disable components, restart your computer, press F to select Advanced Strtup Options, and then select safe mode. Technical information: *** STOP: 0x000000c2 (0x00000007 , 0x00000CD4 , 0x000016EB, 0x81795430) Beginning dump of physical memory Physical memory dump complete. Contact your system administrator or technical support group for further assistance. I just typed all of that here (I'm on a different computer) and the blue screen is still up, and the computer is making "working" noise. Should I just turn the power off? I have no idea what to do now. Thanks, Sue

I agree with chris45ny about seeing both tile together. I would also be curious about you describe each, how they are similar, how they are different, and how either (and hopefully not neither) align with your vision and the kitchens that inspire you. Other questions - what are your floors, are you doing anything with paint or light fixtures - to get thoughts on your style/vision. To me, and I have had the advantage of seeing the cerim bloom white in person, the color of the two tiles seems similar, the question is style of tile/kitchen. I did a quick lookup of the Irish Ice Wexford and confirmed it is a "hand crafted" tile which I would suspect has some variability in the surface and coloration. This gives you nuance, more of a homey style & some additional texture to your kitchen. I would expect this type of tile to be running bond, versus stacked, but some people spice it up by having some or all be running bond vertical versus horizontal but as you seen in GW anything goes with some fab results. As I look at your kitchen's overall feel - dark stain seems modern, cabinet style could go either way (modern or more homey) - a more homey tile could be "at home" there (pun intended.) The bloom white is a sleek manufactured product. You get solid color and the nearly glass like finish, but no hand crafted variation in surface or color. Obviously, I love it because I used it in my leaning contemporary bathroom (though I have marble 2" hex floor tiles so it certainly a mix of old and new.) 1st question - do you like the color with your cabinet/counter? If no, go back to the drawing board 2nd question - if yes to above, which tile style fits your kitchen for you... If it were my kitchen, I would go with the bloom white. I love to mix styles and your counter just screams to me for a slick compliment to let its beauty shine through - but it all depends on what YOUR vision is. KA's backsplash works well because other elements in her kitchen, like the light fixtures, lean more traditional. Her beautiful tumbled stone running bond fits with that style, in the same way the Irish Ice could fit in your kitchen. But maybe I say bloom white because I secretly want a contemporary kitchen and the shaker/pseudo-farmhouse/faux-turn of the century/with some flash on the side (which I am loving in the process) doesn't fit that bill.
