Hello arunpedha. I checked you last set of logs and everything looks ok. I just want to run one more scan to make sure everything is clean.

    Hello arunpedha. It looks good now. There is only the issue about a Firewall. Make sure that the Windows Firewall is turned on or you can download and install a third-party Firewall. Let's do some clean-up.

    Clean out your temporary internet files and temp files.

    Download TFC by OldTimer to your desktop.

    Double-click TFC.exe to run it.

    Note: If you are running on Vista, right-click on the file and choose Run As Administrator

    TFC will close all programs when run, so make sure you have saved all your work before you begin.

    * Click the Start button to begin the cleaning process.
    * Depending on how often you clean temp files, execution time should be anywhere from a few seconds to a minute or two.
    * Please let TFC run uninterrupted until it is finished.

    Once TFC is finished it should restart your computer. If it does not, please manually restart the computer yourself to ensure a complete cleaning.

    * Click START then RUN - Vista users press the Windows Key and the R keys for the Run box.
    * Now type Combofix /u in the runbox
    * Make sure there's a space between Combofix and /u
    * Then hit Enter

    * The above procedure will:
    * Delete the following:
    * ComboFix and its associated files and folders.
    * Reset the clock settings.
    * Hide file extensions, if required.
    * Hide System/Hidden files, if required.
    * Set a new, clean Restore Point.

    Use the Secunia Software Inspector to check for out of date software.

    •Click Start Now

    •Check the box next to Enable thorough system inspection.

    •Click Start

    •Allow the scan to finish and scroll down to see if any updates are needed.
    •Update anything listed.
    .

    Go to Microsoft Windows Update and get all critical updates.

      SD,

      I tried your method and fixed the "Application cannot be executed" problem. However, I got another one and it's getting popular out there because lots of people started posting the same problem around 10 days ago but no solution so far. The problem is any website I clicked "could" be redirected to some other unknown website. The only way to go to the website I want is to type in the URL word-by-word. This spyware sometimes pops up a website called xxx.thewebsitesurvey.com with audio ad. If you haven't heard of this one, please search "thewebsitesurvey". You'll see lots of folks are suffering from it. With your standing record, I believe you're the one who can figure out the solution. Thanks in advance.

      P.S. If you want me to open a new thread, just say so.
