That looks like a clean log, DeOnna. To tidy up you could fix this entry with hijackthis:
O2 - BHO: (no name) - {7E853D72-626A-48EC-A868-BA8D5E23E045} - (no file)

You can simply delete these folders manually [ I filled in where the replacement chars were]:

C:\PROGRAm files\MSNMESsenger\BAK
C:\PROGRAm files\PICASA2\BAK
C:\WINDOWS\EHOME\BAK
C:\PROGRAm files\YAHOO!\MESSENger\BAK

And that should be it. Is the sys working well now?
[feed em well, they expect it]

So far the little bit that I've been on the computer today, it's worked fine. The only thing I couldn't do in your past post was delete this: C:\WINDOWS\EHOME\BAK I couldn't find it. Everything else I did. I'll see how things go over the next day or two, and if all is well we can mark this as solved. Thanks so much for the help! :)

C:\WINDOWS\EHOME\BAK -yep, I was surprised that that one showed up in the last FindAWF list....
Now go play with your visitors.
Cheers.

Ok I haven't been in and deleted that last thing, but last night when I was logging off, that debug error came up again. :( I'm not having anymore popups, but still that error. Any ideas?

DeOnna, we deleted that Ehome bak folder with that lil batch file I sent you - that's why I was surprised that FindAWF put it up again.....it is why you could not find it.
Next problem: this entry can be fixed with hijackthis :
O2 - BHO: (no name) - {7E853D72-626A-48EC-A868-BA8D5E23E045} - (no file)
I would consider uninstalling all that Yahoo stuff - you have heaps of it, it adds on to IE and sometimes those addons cause problems. If it solves your error, fine, if not, feel free to reload it.
Uninstall from Add/Remove pgms, then check your hijackthis log for yahoo entries and fix all that remain[easy way to scan is wordsearch the notepad log].
Then if you still have the problem remove thse two:
O16 - DPF: {BD8667B7-38D8-4C77-B580-18C3E146372C} (Creative Toolbox Plug-in) - http://ak.imgag.com/imgag/cp/install/Crusher.cab
O16 - DPF: {C02226EB-A5D7-4B1F-BD7E-635E46C2288D} (Toontown Installer ActiveX Control) - http://a.download.toontown.com/sv1.0.29.11/ttinst.cab
-they are not intrinsically bad, but you may go better without them.... or not.
Finally, or firstly, go Start, run and paste in:
sfc /scannow ..and OK. You will likely need your installation CD.

Ok, I did as you suggested in the last post, with the exception of the sfc/scannow thing. I have been bad and never created my recovery discs like I was supposed to. One of those things where I kept saying I was going to and never did. :( Creating them now would be useless, correct, since I am having PC problems?

Possibly.... :)
Try to borrow someone's XP installation disk... ud need an SP2 one. You could burn a copy too.

Hmmm....ok. At the moment I don't really know of anyone who has one I can easily get my hands on, but I'll see what I can do. It's strange how that debug error only comes up on certain sites, like Daniweb.

You could try this, it won't break anything:
Go to Start > Run and then cutnpaste the following 2 lines, one then the other; you need to press OK after each DLL file is re-registered.
---- LINE 1
regsvr32 urlmon.dll mshtml.dll shdocvw.dll browseui.dll jscript.dll vbscript.dll scrrun.dll msxml.dll actxprxy.dll softpub.dll wintrust.dll dssenh.dll

---- LINE 2
regsvr32 rsaenh.dll gpkcsp.dll sccbase.dll slbcsp.dll cryptdlg.dll oleaut32.dll ole32.dll shell32.dll msjava.dll hlink.dll Schannel.dll Rsabase.dll initpki.dll

Do not worry if some of these do not run or are not found. It simply means that particular dll does not apply to your version or system configuration.

Course, you do realise that IE7 is just a poor copy of some of the functionality of Firefox, but incorporating many of the faults of earlier IEs.
FF is a copy of Opera.
And with me not using IE7 I am not too sure if much of that is relevant.

Ok, I did that...I think there were 2 or 3 that did not run or weren't found, the rest were fine. I've never used Firefox or any other browser besides IE. I know I have the firefox browser on my pc, and the one time I tried to use it, I waited forever and it never loaded. Another question.....I can only make one copy of my recovery discs from my computer.....if I do that now, are they going to be of any use if I ever have to use them? Also, I use AVG free antivirus.....would I be better off to buy one, rather than just depending on the free one? I was looking at McAfee when I was shopping yesterday, and the price on it was good. I've had Norton before but honestly did not really like it.

Those recovery discs. You must be sure you are clean before making them, with all sys files correct. [should you not make them when fresh outta the box?].
Run CCleaner, then this:
==Please use IE to do an online scan at panda:- http://www.pandasoftware.com/products/activescan?
-select a link to the scan... free online virus scan...., enter a valid? email and follow through, choosing My Computer for a full system scan.
Post the log it produces here.
You really should try to run that system file checker though - it replaces any non-std files it finds. Which is why you need that SP2 installation CD. Absolutely no pale-faced kids nearby? Cannot borrow one from a friendly tech? The shop?
[sfc /scannow]
AVG Free. It's what I use, It has been faultless.

I'll run those scans after I get my son off to school. Yes, I should have made the discs as soon as I got the computer. One of those things I kept saying I had to do and just never did unfortunately. I do have a family member who has XP on his computer.....but he is in NC so I will see about that when I go home for the holiday in a few weeks. I'll post those results as soon as I run the scan. Thanks!
