Hi, about a week ago I had restarted my computer and when I logged on, I had an error message saying


Now I can't open Windows Sidebar, Windows Media Player, Apple Software Update and some other of my applications. I do not have a previous restore point nor a Windows disc. I use Kaspersky Internet Security 7. No threats have been detected. Any further assistance would be excellent.

Could you pull up an error # or the like from the error log?

There is nothing, the pictures I posted are the only things that pop up. I open the application, and the first one says, then it goes to the next screen posted below.

[lem.rar]

Open control panel, then go to your administrative tools. Then open "Event Viewer" and take a glance through the logs to find the specific error for more info.

There's a lot of logs, can you get anymore specific?

Hmm. Press CTRL + SHIFT + DEL

Click the "performance" tab. How much RAM is being used? How much RAM does your computer have?

So your total is ~1gb.

Okay you might have malware, however my guess is that it's a system resource problem. I sugguest you run a MemTest.

I'm scanning with Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware, right now.

Do you have a better malware search program?
