me thinks it still has a bug or two in it under WinXP Pro. Solid error when
starting a scan.

After scanning, in the harmful category:
- winlogon 33: added as a result of the RANDEX.E VIRUS
- dmaswitch: added as a result of the CUYDOC VIRUS (but it seems of
PowerDVD)
- msctlwin: added as a result of the SEEKER.K VIRUS


In the useful category:
- tweak ui: but the program says "added as a result of the SUBWOOFER
VIRUS! Note - the real tweak ui entry for this is rundll32.exe
tweakui.cpl, tweakmeup"; The command line contains "rundll32.exe
tweakui.cpl,tweakmeup" and the recommendation is "should not disable".

???? Boh...???

P.S. I have AVAST daily updated and bitdefender for startup scanning of
system32: both have not found viruses.
