Thanks again so much, Judy, for your patience and thouroughness!! This last suggestion will be my option of last resort.

However, I believe you have found the issue in that last post...only time...

I've been wanting to do that since the beginning of the problem. But there is no XP CD. These HPs don't come with one. I've considere buying it even but that's pretty ridiculous...I guess I'm...

I was just thinking back, Judy, and this entire issue started over Christmas when I got Tiger Woods 2008. It was so unstable that it kept restarting the computer every other hole. I finally deleted...

First, the registry cleaners can be deleted - I downloaded them and then didn't use them.

I thought we disabled Promise, however. I just looked at CodeStuffStarter and didn't see it.

I thought...

From this Deckard log, I see those files I mentioned are missing and also Avira is asking for a file that's not there. I guess I still have issues with Avira...can't believe it. I had a lot of...

Judy, you're gonna love this! After I posted the above, I started the MalWareBytes scan again and the computer crashed immediately.

There was no application event. The systems event was the same...

I got this last task done and got rid of Avira and just let it run for a couple days to try and get a pattern. This is getting strange as, since that exercise, IE has not been listed at the core of...

it's a legit copy, I even have two of these HP machines. I feel better about my system backup now, though, with you explanation. I don't have a restore disk, these machines don't come with any...

I didn't respond right away simply because it was my daughter's birthday and didn't get a chance but I did look at your suggestions - couldn't figure out what you meant. I'm looking at the bottom of...

Hi guys,
I thought I had everything back to normal after last week's cleanup fest but last night the computer just crashed...twice! Since that was the original issue, I guess I didn't accomplish...

I took all your suggestions and thanks again for the great help. I'll just have to see if the restart issue is fixed with time.

I like Belarc and CodeStuffStarter - good stuff. And the...

OK, Judy, I've turned back on Windows Firewall and Avast. It was with AVG and Avast that I was experimenting when this issue began, as follows:

Was using AVG and they started wanting a paid...

Thanks, Judy, I turned everything back on and here's a fresh HJT log. Doing some further digging, I may have an issue with system32\lsass.exe OR I could have got rid of it, not certain - I got a...

I noticed something amiss (can´t describe it, just a hunch) on my wife´s computer when I was doing weekly maintenance and on bringing up task manager found that a second iteration of scvhost.exe was...

Hi there WCH1086. Welcome. You need to start a thread in the forum - Viruses, Spyware and Other Nasties, which is under Tech Talk forum and the subforum Microsoft Windows. In the instructional...

Definitely follow Catweazle´s suggestions.

However, there is another possibility. Without knowing where you are located or whether you speak chinese, have you ever loaded any chinese versions of...

hello gminhas, you need to post this on the virus and spyware forum. There you will find all the help you need.

I have had great results with one of my computers after coming to this forum - not so great on another one (I had to finally reformat and start over). The second one was really messed up with virus...

Thanks DMR,

It took a while but I did everything you posted. It didn't work, though. Just in bringing up this web page, I got the about:blank stuff. Just to download the spy stuff that I...

I added it even though my other computer has it and it doesn't stop everything.

I can't see that it's done much good. I'm getting a couple of popups every time I change pages. It makes the web...

OK, I got rid of them - btw, when I booted back in normal mode, there was a message that one of the files needed by W2K had been replaced by a bad file - it asked for the W2K CD and I put it in and...
