I really need help!. I have a really annoying error message "Bad image... The application of DDL...perfc000.dat is not a valid windows image. Please check this against your installation disk." This pops up numerous times as I start the computer or open up programs. It first started when McAfee quarantined perfc000.dat about 20 times in about half an hour. I restarted the computer and that's when this error message started. I ran to programs suggested in the "before you post on Hijack this forum"; the ATF cleaner, system restore, AVG in safe mode, Super Anti Spyware, Online Panda Active Scan (which I included below), Windows update, reboot test and finally Hijack this (the log is also below). I restared the computer and the problem is still there. Also, my desktop background mysteriously turned blue. Please advise, I really don't know what to do now. Thanks in advance for your assistance.
