I really hate this type of program and it always seems to get on after some-one else has usedmy PC. I guess the lesson is don't let them!

Me again, I looked at some of the other logs and saw that some-one suggested using Fixwareout.exe (sorry don't know the link but I bet you can find it on this site) after turning off windows defender while it ran (as per instructions). This solved the problem. Note that when they say it takes a while to start the PC again it really means quite a long time, don't worry if it seems to get stuck on the start screen this is exactly what mine did and it worked a treat. I would change the emoticon to a smile but I don't know how. Furry_dice
