Post by: the masked on January 23, 2009, 11:19:47 AM

Hi Guys,

My computer has been running really slow and grinding away.
I defragged the HD.
I have not been able to bring anything up under "My Computer" It wont respond.
But, I have been able to access "explorer.exe" from the Run menu.

Here  are my logs:

Do you have a backup? Microsoft recommends having a backup before making any major changes to your computer. The system restore is not the same as a backup.

Can you boot in safe mode? Safe mode with networking?
If you have a virus, malwarebytes just might find it in safe mode.

That is a not for progit web site and the do the best job I know of.
The program is free and they do not try to get you to buy
something you don't need.

If you have a USB stick, try and save your important work. Like Photos, musid or projects. You may have to do a re-install even after using malwarebytes program.
