In the list below can you do step 5 as a continuation of this may indicate a problem with your drive

1. click on your start menu and open the run dialog.
2. type "cmd" and return (note: dont enter quotes)
3. Next type "fsutil dirty query c:"
4. If the return message indicates that the volume is dirty go to step 5
5. Next type "chkdsk c: /f /x"
6. After that finshes repeat step 3.
7. If it is no longer dirty then reboot and you should notice no more
ckdisk.

Yes, I did it again after I saw it happened and I check and it said it was no longer dirty but like I was telling you before for some reason it happens to always come back. Also, i used the uninstaller but that certain file that is outdated still is unable to be removed and its still on my system. What should I do

Could you give me the path for it e.g C:\Windows\System32\Macromed\flash\ file name

[dch1314]

It was deleted now so I am not sure of the filename. Also, I checked the volume and drive c: is dirty yet again.

I think you will need to go to the hardware section to cure that part as we are getting out of my depth. And they are the experts there

[dch1314]

Okay, Thanks a bunch with your help thus far and you have cured me of my problems from the looks of it so I greatly appreciate that. So, with my CPU Usage reaching those massive numbers that should not happen again or were you unable to find a problem with that?

[Essexboy]

That should not occur again as long as you remain clean

[dch1314]

Okay, Thanks alot and what was in my system? I know you say it should not occur if it remains clean just for future references

[Essexboy]

It could have been any one of half a dozen generic trojans - usually got by downloading codecs or "free" video egg type programmes

[dch1314]

oh ok. Thanks alot

When I open different applications the it stops me from closing or minimizing all of the apps preventing me from seeing the desktop ever again unless I restart. I am not sure what the problem is but I know that the explorer.exe is taking up 80 to 100% of my cpu usage. I see the problem is kind of wide spread so it's a common problem. I can't post a log based on not being able to see my desktop or close all programs even with closing apps through task manager. My log hasn't changed much since yesterday because I turned my computer off yesterday after the fix and when I woke this morning the problem of cpu usage was there

[Essexboy]

OK investigation time

Go Start > Run > type in Msconfig
Select the Services tab
Tick Hide all Microsoft services
Then remove the ticks from all items left
Reboot and see if the problem is still there
If not re-enable One service and restart then see how the system runs
Continue re-enabling the services until you experience the problem again, then let me know which service caused it

[dch1314]

well the problem occurs after being online for a while and opening some applications. The problem can take hours before it start so to monitor this it could take up to couple days.
