    not sure if this is an issue related to this or not, on account of thngs seem to be coming back clean.  My printer seems to have its own issue, prints a couple of pages and I have to restart the computer to get it talking again, I can live with that for the moment, but when I restarted I was actually watching the screen and something flashed by real quick which said shwiconxp and then window cleared/closed.  not really sure what that is because I don't recall seeing it before.  thanks

    Please try this. It's supposed to fix a number of issues with MS.

    Please download and run MS Fix-it from here.

          again not sure if this is related or not.  my wife tried to open facebook on her account and got this pop up window
          there was a  problem starting  c\users\candee\appdata\local\conduit\backgroundcontainer\backgroundcontainer.dll the specified module could not be found.

          not sure if this conduit is the same one which appeared to have started my problems or not?

          thanks

            sorry to be such a bother, but I did google this particular error and there are some steps out there which say how to remove, but I haven't done that cuz I wanted to wait for your input.  also I don't think my wife was trying to enter facebook, the computer was rebooted before that and I think she was simply logging on to her account and that is when the error showed up.  thanks.

              don't know why, but on a whim I ran adw cleaner under my account and my wifes, both logs attached, my account first, hers second.  on the reboot, I didn't get the conduit box I mentioned in the last couple of posts when I logged on to her account (has never happened on mine) so maybe that piece is fixed.  I did get a box that said shwiconxp pop up, not sure why (again when I logged on to her account), I closed it.  unfortunately, the problem still exists within msngames telling me my browser etc (start of thread) and that other msn zone pop up window I mentioned earlier.  thanks..

              Download the Fix IE Utility to your desktop.

              Before running the utility, make sure that all your Internet Explorer windows are closed!

              * Extract the contents of the .zip file to your desktop.
              * Double click the Fix IE Utility button to run the tool.
              * Click Run Utility
              * Click OK when you see 'Re-registered all files'
              * Open Internet Explorer and see how it works.

                  I can open that link with IE 8 so I really don't understand why you're having problems with it.

                    When you ran MSFix-It did you click on the "Visit our Solution Center and select the IE tab?

                    Download Combofix from any of the links below, and save it to your DESKTOP
                    If your version of Windows defaults to you download folder you will need to copy it to your desktop.

                    Link 1
                    Link 2
                    Link 3

                    To prevent your anti-virus application interfering with  ComboFix we need to disable it. See here for a tutorial regarding how to do so if you are unsure.
                    • Close any open windows and double click ComboFix.exe to run it.

                      You will see the following image:


                    Click I Agree to start the program.

                    ComboFix will then extract the necessary files and you will see this:



                    As part of it's process, ComboFix will check to see if the Microsoft Windows Recovery Console is installed. With malware infections being as they are today, it's strongly recommended to  have this pre-installed on your machine before doing any malware  removal. This will not occur in Windows Vista and 7

                    It will allow you to boot up into a special recovery/repair  mode that will allow us to more easily help you should your computer  have a problem after an attempted removal of malware.

                    If you did not have it installed, you will see the prompt below. Choose YES.



                    Follow the prompts to allow ComboFix to download and install the Microsoft Windows Recovery Console, and when prompted, agree to the End-User License Agreement to install the Microsoft Windows Recovery Console.

                    **Please note: If the Microsoft Windows Recovery Console is already installed, ComboFix will continue it's malware removal procedures.

                    Once the Microsoft Windows Recovery Console is installed using ComboFix, you should see the following message:



                    Click on Yes, to continue scanning for malware.

                    When finished, it will produce a report for you. Please post the contents of the log (C:\ComboFix.txt).

                    Leave your computer alone while ComboFix is running. ComboFix will restart your computer if malware is found; allow it to do so.

                    Note: Please Do NOT mouseclick combofix's window while its running because it may cause it to stall.
