Log Trace Question? Lippsman- you seem to be the go to guy on here with comp ?'s

Question

Thanks in advance to anyone that can answer/help me with this question( s).&#xD;&#xA; &#xD;&#xA;Today when I turned on my notebook there was a Log Trace shortcut on my desktop? I think this is the third time this has happened in the last 2 months. Basically, since I had downloaded Veoh TV and DivX so I could watch free movies online. I did run a security scan, everything is normal. I guess my question is why would there be a Log Trace shortcut on my desktop? Granted my computer has been running kind of shitty since I downloaded all that crap, but I figured it is because they both use a lot of ram and it is the price to pay to be able to watch any movie I want. Is the Log Trace an indication of some adware/malware? If anyone has seen this, or this has happened to them, some info on the subject would be greatly appreciated. &#xD;&#xA; &#xD;&#xA;Thanks- Ken

Those programs that you mentioned has tons of spy/adware in them.  I don&#x27;t advise anyone to have these on your computer.  &#xD;&#xA; &#xD;&#xA;Do a complete virus and spyware sweep.

I am doing one right now. I read that after every time you use Veoh a Log Trace starts? That&#x27;s kind of messed up. Thanks for the response.

Damn I both Divx and Veoh downloaded into my computer, should I be worried? The funny part is that when I run a full computer scan, nothing comes up though.

Is there any other precautionary steps I should take?

Thanks guys!

Download Antispyware 7.0 from AVG and run a scan.  That&#x27;s one of the best out there now
