I don't like the missing .dll files listed in you hjt log. Your missing a fair amount of them. You may want to reinstall vista. Btw, M$ is recommending that you don't use the gadgets.

[Orac]

lol, they put them there. least i got everything backup up i supose

[PommieB]

Still using the odd 1 or 3 gadgets, I'll leave my security to handle any problems anyway, never had problems with the gagdets anyway, I read Microsoft's warning, don't believe there's a problem anyway.
