Previous post was getting a bit long, so time to cut short and start a new one.

Specific query - Hijack This.
People ( not just you , John) on the web say install and run Hijack This. They usually then follow the advice with - "If you are not an expert, do not try to alter things based on what you think the LOG tells you.
I am NOT an expert, just someone who uses computers a lot.
SO - what is the purpose of me running Hijack This, if I am then not going to do anything with the information obtained? Or alternatively, What should I do with the information logged?

Quack!
Geoff.
