Unable to start various Windows Services

📎startuplist_TE_27th_Dec.txtHi All, I am unable to run various Windows XP tools on my laptop. When I try to start programs such as taskmanager, disk defrag, computer management or event viewer I get an hour glass briefly then nothing else. I have completed a full scan of my laptop with both adaware and my anti virus (Kaspersky Internet Security 6.0.2.621) which yeilded nothing except for some tracking cookies (adaware) and the following dlls (Kaspersky) wmphost.dll wmpdev.dll which have all been removed. The only other things is Kaspersky has picked up the following dll this morning: C:\System Volume Information\_restore{9D7A6590-EA17-4EEA-AB1B-CA0289365616}\RP410\A0097723.dll I have attached my hijack this logs and startup list to the post. Any assistance wouldbe greatly appreciated. I have also attached as much of an msinfo export that I could Thanks / Regards Tony

Hi Tallim, Thanks for you prompt response and apologies for not reading the guide before posting. I will follow those instructions in the future. For now I believe I have solved the problem myself. I noticed in the HJT log that there was a process call odbcconfb.exe running, googling this shows 1 website which recognises it as a threat so I removed it in safe mode then restarted, everything now works correctly. I note that my anti virus (Kaspersky) and viruslist.com don't yet recognise it. Happy New Year to you too. Rgds Tony
