1. "System Files Update" thingy usually comes on whenever I try to download or save anything. I went to Add/Remove programs and think I got rid of it? I don't know why it was happening...except it seems to be related to the software program Microsoft Front Page that I removed (tried to remove) a long time ago, because that reference always shows up when it appears. This SFU thing was happening for a long time (months and months) and I would just X it out as I could.
2. I cannot delete any files. This was happening before I tried to do anything abut the SFU mentioned above. When I go to right click (or any other way) on a file to scroll down the menu to delete I get an hourglass and nothing happens. Using Ctrl+Alt+Delete shows that it is "not responding" and I have to end task. Usually makes message and white background come up that says 'unstable system'. So I click on that link and background turns green again.
3. Start-->shutdown-->restart does not function. It doesn't necessarily freeze up, but also will not restart and I have to manually push the restart button on the tower. Then I get scandisk for not shutting down properly.
4. IE doesn't work anymore; ususally shows "illegal action" and shutdown on just about anything. Tried to update, didn't matter. Have now resorted to using Netscape and Mozilla.
I did run a virus check which supposedly did discover a couple of trojans but doesn't seem to have affected any of these issues.
My HijackThis! log doesn't seem odd (is posted below). To me, anyway.
I did recently install a new printer. Nothing out of the ordinary seemed to happen with that. The SFU and IE problems stayed the same, the deleting and shutdown stuff more recent but not immediately after the installation.
I would TOTALLY appreciate any help I might be able to get for these problems. THANK YOU VERY VERY MUCH!!!!
