Uninstall uTorrent. It's a source of many a virus.

Your lexmark software is not happy. I would uninstall

Lexmark S300-S400 Series
Lexmark Toolbar
Lexmark Tools for Office
I assume you can download it again from Lexmark.

Also uninstall Malwarebytes Anti-Malware version 1.62.0.1300.



That your recycle bin is corrupt can mean we have hard drive problems:


1. Double-click My Computer, and then right-click the hard disk that you want to check. C:
2. Click Properties, and then click Tools.
3. Under Error-checking, click Check Now. A dialog box that shows the Check disk options is displayed,
4. Check both boxes and then click Start.
You will receive the following message:
The disk check could not be performed because the disk check utility needs exclusive access to some Windows files on the disk. These files can be accessed by restarting Windows. Do you want to schedule the disk check to occur the next time you restart the computer?
Click Yes to schedule the disk check, but don't restart yet.

Right click on (My) Computer and select Manage (Continue) Then the Event Viewer. Next select Windows Logs. Right click on System and Clear Log, Clear. Repeat for Application. Reboot. The disk check will run and will probably take an hour or more to finish.


Start, All Programs, Accessories then right click on Command Prompt and Run as Administrator. Then type (with an Enter after each line).

sfc /scannow

(SPACE after sfc. This will check your critical system files. If it asks for a CD and you don't have one or it doesn't like your CD just tell it to SKIP.)

sigverif

Press Start in the new window. This will check your drivers. If you just get a few when it finishes tell me what they are. If you get a lot just look for those with newish dates (since about the time the problem started.)


1. Please download the Event Viewer Tool by Vino Rosso
http://images.malwar...om/vino/VEW.exe
and save it to your Desktop:
2. Right-click VEW.exe and Run AS Administrator
3. Under 'Select log to query', select:

* System
4. Under 'Select type to list', select:
* Error
* Warning


Then use the 'Number of events' as follows:


1. Click the radio button for 'Number of events'
Type 20 in the 1 to 20 box
Then click the Run button.
Notepad will open with the output log.


Please post the Output log in your next reply then repeat but select Application.

Under all programs I noticed I have folders for Rival Gaming, Shop to Win17 Software995 and some others that look suspicious... Shouldn't those be gone by now? What do you think is happening, and how bad is/was it.

As always === thanks for taking your time and helping!

You still have one driver which is not loading.

Event: 7026 Source: Service Control Manager
The following boot-start or system-start driver(s) failed to load: PxHlpa64


Per OTL it belongs to Sonic Solutions
DRV - [2004/09/23 02:03:00 | 000,026,720 | ---- | M] (Sonic Solutions) [Kernel | Boot | Stopped] -- C:\Windows\SysWOW64\drivers\PxHlpa64.sys -- (PxHlpa64)


We can turn it off since it is not working.

copy the next line:

sc config PxHlpa64 start= disabled


Start, All Programs, Accessories, right click on Command Prompt and Run as Administrator, Continue. Right click and Paste or Edit then Paste and the copied line should appear. hit Enter.

If you have uninstalled the associated programs and still have entries for them in All programs you can right click on each entry you don't like and Delete. If something won't delete it is just a folder which you can search for and delete.

So far I am not seeing a lot other than some disk drive corruption. It's possible that you have a hard driving that is getting a bit weak or some RAM that is a bit flaky.

To test your RAM:
http://www.sevenforu...stics-tool.html

To test your hard drive which is a

Western Digital WDC WD15EARS-00Z5B1 ATA Device (SATA)

You can try their drive test:

http://support.wdc.c...8&sid=3&lang=en

You will need to run the EXTENDED TEST to be sure the drive is good. You have an enormous drive so it may take 24 hours to finish.

You might do better with the free version of Revo uninstaller:

http://www.revounins...e_download.html

The download is at the bottom of the free version column.
