Can you please post a startup list using hijackthis.

Run hijackthis and go to>Open the Misc Tools section then hit the generate startuplist log after placing a check in the list also minor sections.

The problem you are experiencing may well not be related to malware. We will wait and see.

hi,

Thanks for the reply and concern.Right now today morning, I reached office and started the system, I tried to access my system which made it get stuck.Then neither the keyboard / mouse works.

On restart, it started fine , i ran the hijackthis.after that i closed the hijackthis and then came the blue screen again sayin ' An exception has occurred - some memory location-etc...

I have done as you said earlier and is pasting here the startuplog created by hijackthis.

Hi again. Looking at those logs I see nothing that stands out as not being necessary. So I think we can rule out any malware now.
Let's try running scandisk.

Here is how to do it from Microsoft;

If you have problems try doing it in safe mode.

You should also try defragmenting your hard drive.

Let me know how you get on.

hi crunchie,

Hope you would not mind, if this reply ia a bit lengthy.

I tried scandisk with thorough option and after a few minutes poped a window with 3 options -> ignore and continue,Covert to files,and freeing space.
I gave for freeing space option and the scan process was re-initiated.

Now during the process came the blue window with the message:-

' A fatal exception 0E has occurred at 0028:C001545A. The current application would be terminated.'{[ I do not about which application that screen was talking about]}

Scandisl was still running after my pressing my key.Then after sometime came the popup window saying:- ' Scandisk has restarted 10 times b'coz windows or some programm has been writing'.

{[I don't know what this windows or programm was writing so urgently]}

Crunchie, this system used to crash like this even before the current OS and and that time I believed it was the virus and worms as broadband was throughout the LAN without any security considerations.and at the same time came the letter from Microsoft for procurring the windows originals for the pirated once.So the C: drive was completedly formatted of every system, and then installed the windows 98.

Also, Norton 2005 and corporate edition were there in this system and with gr8 difficulty the 2005 was removed.In one of my systems(not this one), the first screen that comes even now is the symantec configuration file is missing with a 'OK' button and then username and password.Till that evening it was working , morning with this message and MS Office corrupted.

I mentioned this because, If this piece of information proves useful for you to trace my problem , i would be mory happy.

Thanking you ,

Harish Balakrishnan Marar
