As Chuck mentioned in his post on this subject, you can have HJT create its log
and then YOU post it here, not yonder.
As to the F2 thing that you saw, that is part of Dell's POST screen that tells
you to press [F2] if you wish to access the BIOS setup utility. If you wish to
explore that, try tapping on that key [F2], obviously, just before you saw that
message. Don't go making any changes in there!, but I see nothing wrong with
your becoming familiar with its contents. Sooner or later you'll come across
something related to what you saw in there and something will click in your
mind and you'll realize what it is and how it also is part of your box.
Learning is an everyday task, eh?
Post that log in here, that way WE can see it and ponder on it and speak to you
'bout it, O.K.?
For one, from this post of yours, Trend Micro is one of the bundled packages
from Dell, lest you bought and installed it yourself.
The problem with these 'one program to do everything' utilities, is that such
programs seldom excell at any of their tasks. Its sort of a 'jack of all
trades, master of none' syndrome - at least that's my opinion, such as in the
case of ZoneAlarm that we recently discussed on the list.
