Well, I have managed to get my computer to start in "normal" mode, though i don't know how...
However, it still shuts down during any kind of virus scan. I have Tried AVG, Ad-aware SE, Ewido, Panda Activescan, Trend Housecall, etc...
The last thing i saw when i ran avg was Trojan downloader.small.37.AW located in C:/ml00!.exe , but it shut down before avg finished. so i rebooted, tracked down ml00!.exe and deleted it. then i ran avg again. It ran for a little longer, and it didn't find the trojan, but the computer still shut down after about 6 mins. And I mean shut down like someone cut the power. Just on one second, off the next.
I ran CWShredder; it found nothing. Neither did TDS-3.
Also, my virtual scroll on my touchpad doesn't work anymore. I don't know if its related, but it's sure a pain in the [bleep].
I am quickly running out of ideas.
I have attached a hijack this log. Please Help! Thanks in advance.
