Hello,

The logfile seems to be complete, it means that the clean process has been successful, without crashing. Also, I do not see any deleted elements related to safe-mode.

Thanks for the feedback,

Ah, ok nevermind. I tried it the other day and it was still showing. Now, it does not. I figure the program probably checks online database as it runs/scans and I hadn't before. :)

You mean in new version of the program? I don't see anything newer than what I was using 6.010, anywhere. Cool, though. Thank you.

Here are some things to go by, tailored to you and leaving out more complicated things like NoScript:

1) Use Firefox as much as possible and not Internet Explorer, unless you really absolutely must.
