So here's my new problem. I will be as detailed as possible. There is a windows application that is called "Explorer" You can access it by right clicking on the Start button or going to
Accessories-->accessibility folder. When I go to the explorer, and try to open let's say a C drive, I get the hour glass and thats where the story ends. Everything responds and I can use other programms, but the hour glass never diappears. So I have to do Ctrl+Alt+Del to shut it down. My iTUnes used to import folders of music from other locations on the drive into iTunes. Now I get same symptoms. In safe mode, everything works perfectly.
I also cannot complete Norton Windows Doctor or One Button heck. It get's to some file and hangs up there. Some two letter name with PIF in the end. PLEASE NOTE: I ran Ewido and my antivirus is up to date. I have no Malware. Please tell me what solutions there are. It is obviously configuration or some other stuff problem. I just want to know what should I delete to make this extremely frustrating annoynace to go away.

Thank you.

I think I may have an idea of what would be causing your problem.

Please download HiJackThis

Run HijackThis.
On the first menu, click Open the Misc Tools Section
Click Open Uninstall Manager
Click Save List - Save it anywhere.
A notepad will pop-up after it's saved, please copy everything in that Notepad and paste it here.

That's not what I wanted. Read my instructions please, then edit your post with the correct log.

Also, are you aware that you have a password stealing trojan present on your system?

I would strongly advise changing all of your passwords immediately from a non-infected computer.

Sorry. No I didn't know. I will run ewido.

You have a lot of programs installed and I think some of them are not getting along (specifically music/video related). When I've seen this problem previously, it was because of multiple codecs installed that were fighting. Have you looked through your Add/Remove programs to see if there are any applications you no longer use and can uninstall (especially if multiple codecs are installed)?

[bigdog1100]

Is there any way to isolate this issue?

Where did you see the virus exactly?


Thank you.

Not that I can think of..like I said uninstall programs that you no longer use. Do you have multiple codecs installed? (that's too long of a list to go through..)

For the virus issue, please start a new topic here with the HJT log you posted previously. We'll get rid of it there and I can also help you remove optional items from startup which may help with the issue:

http://www.geekstogo...o_Here-f37.html

Then if problems still exist, we'll come back to this topic to finish up.

[bigdog1100]

KK. I will see if I can find the virus with my tools. If not then I'll go through the process (again).

Thanks for support.

[Michelle]

It won't take long.. and we'll remove optional items from startup which will probably help.
