Hi, this is my first time here. and I am having a problem with my computer.

I have a pop-up everytime I logon to my computer:
winlogon.exe cannot be found.

This happens after I fix some of the files using spyware, spybot.

I am wondering how can I fix this problem, cause the missing winlogon.exe is affecting all my window programs.

Here's my HTJ log,
