I really don't see much in your log, but let's dig a little deeper. Please download the trial version of Ewido Security Suite here. Install it, and update the definitions to the newest files. Run the scan and allow it fix what it finds. Please post the log for me to review.

Well a weird thing happened when I started this process. I installed the program and restarted my PC, then started to scan and about halfway thru the PC said that it had to shut down and gave me a countdown and a error code. The code was 1073741819. It restarted again and then I was able to finish the scan. Heres the log it found a few things and as instructed I had it fixed. Another note my wife uses Outlook Express for school and she says that their have been emailing going on that she hasn't done.

Ok, not much there either. Let's try another scan. Please download the free MWAV antivirus tool from here. Save it to the desktop and run it. Follow the prompts to scan your system for viruses. Then please post for me the log of infected files from the BOTTOM panel of the scan window. Please remove any lines relating to "Invalid object" as they are not needed at this time.

There were alot of invalid entries but I removed them and this is what it found: Object "AHNET Spyware/Adware" found in file system no action taken Object "CWS.THE real search Spyware/Adware" found in file system no action taken Object "iSearch Spyware/Adware" found in file system no action taken File "C\Documents~1\User\Locals~1\Tempor~1\Content IE5\A4A9RTCO\pop cap loader v6(1) cab tagged as not a virus : Downloader.Win 32.PopCap.b. no action taken Hope I did that right!

Ok, nothing really there either that would be causing the problems you are having. Let's check your system files. Please go to Start -> Run -> cmd and press Enter. At the command prompt type sfc /scannow, making sure to put a space between the "c" and the slash, and then press Enter. This will run the System File Checker. Follow the prompts, and insert your Windows installation CD if requested. Then please restart your computer. Let me know if that helps at all.

It seems to running good right now. I'll have to see if it runs OK today. Haven't really had a chance to take a test run, but seems good so far. Thanks for taking the time to help!

Ok, if you could post back within a couple of days and let me know how things are running, I would appreciate it. I will continue to monitor your thread.

Ok, none of those are of concern. That error is pretty generic. Click on Start–>Run then enter 'eventvwr.msc' and see if any of the errors there correlate to the time the error would have occurred.
