Hi Evil
Thanks again a lot for your help. Here is the ESETScan log:

Is now anything ok?

Looks good.

Here are a few more suggestions to help secure your computer.

Use the Secunia Software Inspector to check for out of date software.
Out of date software has security vulnerabilities that malware can exploit.
  • Click Start Now
  • Check the box next to Enable thorough system inspection.
  • Click Start
  • Allow the scan to finish and scroll down to see if any updates are needed.
  • Update anything listed.


----------

Go to Microsoft Windows Update and get all critical updates.

----------

Make sure all of your security programs are up to date and run scans with them regularly.

I suggest using WOT - Web of Trust. WOT is a free Internet security addon for your browser. It will keep you safe from online scams, identity theft, spyware, spam, viruses and unreliable shopping sites. WOT warns you before you interact with a risky website. It's easy and it's free.

SpywareBlaster - Secure your Internet Explorer to make it harder for these ActiveX programs to run on your computer. Also stop certain cookies from being added to your computer when running Mozilla based browsers like Firefox.
* Using SpywareBlaster to protect your computer from Spyware and Malware
* If you don't know what ActiveX controls are, see here

Protect yourself against spyware using the Immunize feature in Spybot - Search & Destroy. Guide: Use Spybot's Immunize Feature to prevent spyware infection in real-time. Note: To ensure you have the latest Immunizations always update Spybot - Search & Destroy before Immunizing. Spybot - Search & Destroy FAQ

Hi Evil
Again thanks a lot for all you help. I will follow the instructions in your last reply.
One question remains: The hardware device tool in Start - Settings .--> System Settings gave a message that a registry enty has been destroyed. This seems to be the reason why some functions are now impossible - like importing files from a camera via an USB connection.
Do you have an idea how to recreate these registry entries?
Any idea is appreciated.
Best regards from Germany

Uninstall Windows Media Player.
Restart the computer.
Install WMP again.

Dear Evil
I will try this.
Now I think it's the time to say 'Good Bye' for the moment.
So: Many, many thanks for your help and all the time you spent with my problem!
Best regards again
