Lately I've been getting this error, it freezes up the computer, but am still able to access web browser and already running applications.

But what I can't access is the windows folders. And what I've realised is that this error pops up when ever I open a folder or my computer or my documents etc.

So here is the log.

I've done everything. Finished scanning now, but I don't see a "see report" button anywhere.

Here is the log sorry mate.

[greyknight17]

Good job. Your log is clean.

Turn off system restore by right clicking on My Computer and go to Properties->System Restore and check the box for Turn off System Restore. Click Apply and then OK. Go back to the System Restore tab and uncheck the same box to enable System Restore.

To help prevent future spyware infections, read the Anti-Spyware Tutorial and use the tools provided.

Are there any problems now? If none, you should be set to go.

[kalone]

Thanks for the help mate, I'll reply again if I have any problems, thanks

[kalone]

Nop, its not working, still getting the same error.

The log wasn't that clean... don't I have a trogan there?

[greyknight17]

That Cliprex program seems to contain adware. If you want, you can uninstall it...

What problem do you still have remaining now?

[kalone]

Still getting the same error, my computer is clean from viruses and malware.

Opening files and folders causes my computer to freeze up and not respond in the task manager, get this error message and then makes the desktop and start windows non-accessible, only able to see the programs already running.

One of these methods should fix the Dr. Watson problem:

1. Go to My Computer->Tools->Folder Option->View and check 'Show hidden files and folders' and uncheck 'Hide protected operating system files'. Go to your c: drive. Right click on the boot.ini file and go to Properties. Uncheck the box that says Read-only and click OK. Then double click on the boot.ini file to open it. Change the line that says /NoExecute=OptIn and change it to /NoExecute=AlwaysOff. Now save the file and close it.

2. Right click My Computer and select Properties. Go to Advanced tab->Startup and Recovery and click Settings. Click the drop-down box next to 'Write debugging information' and select none.

3. Go to Start->Run and type in regedit and hit OK. Go to File->Export and save the registry somewhere as a backup. Go back to the Registry Editor and navigate to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\WindowsNT\CurrentVersion\AeDebug. Double click on 'Auto' (in the right pane) and modify the value to 0.

[kalone]

1. There is no boot.ini file.

2. There is nowhere that it says 'Write debugging information'.

3. I've done it, guess we'll just have to wait.

Thanks for sticking by me

[greyknight17]

1. Are you sure you unchecked the option that says Hide protected operating system files? It should have shown you the boot.ini file in your C: drive.

2. Double check that area. Write debugging information is the bottom area where the drop down box is.

[kalone]

Yes I'm 10000000000000000000% positive.
It shows other files that weren't there before, but boot.ini is not there.

But it looks like I haven't had the error since. Wait a week more before you close this just to be sure

[greyknight17]

Reply back with a progress update within 4-5 days or I will close it and mark it as inactive. I guess two more replies from you should show if it helped out or not.

[kalone]

Yep, the error is still kicking up, every time I open a folder the error either:

1. Exits the folders.

2. Causes the folders to not respond and I can only close them with task manager.

And every time it causes my desktop to freeze so I can't see my desktop.
