[jthogg]

I am having this problem with my computer crashing when I open certain folders. The message says that the program "DrWatson Postmortem Debugger" has encountered an error and must close. And then it freezes. I have hijack this installed but I am new here. I hope I am doing all this right. Thanks for any help someone can give to me.
Cheers.
Jeff

I followed the instructions you sent and rescanned with Hijack This. (See attached log below) So far the computer is running smoother (without pop-ups), but when I scanned with Error Guard, it says there are still over 300 serious problems with the registry. Does this mean I have to pay for a program (such as Error Guard) in order to correct the registry?
Here's the rescan after I followed the initial instructions:

Congratulations! Your system is CLEAN

How do you prevent spyware from being installed again? We strongly recommend installing SpywareBlaster (it's free for personal use) Click Here.

Prevent the installation of ActiveX-based spyware, adware, browser hijackers, dialers, and other potentially unwanted pests.
Block spyware/tracking cookies in Internet Explorer and Mozilla/Firefox.
Restrict the actions of potentially dangerous sites in Internet Explorer.
Consumes no system resources.

Download, run, check for updates, download updates, select all, protect against checked. All done. Check for updates every couple of weeks. If you have any errors running the program like a missing file see the link at the bottom of the javacool page.

It's also very important to keep your system up to date to avoid unnecessary security risks. Click Here to make sure that you have the latest patches for Windows.

These next two steps are optional, but will provide the greatest protection.
1. Use ANY browser besides Internet Explorer, almost every exploit is crafted to take advantage of an IE weakness. We usually recommend FireFox .
2. Install Sun's Java. It's much more secure than Microsoft's Java Virtual Machine .

It's okay to delete the Hijack This folder if everything is working okay.

After doing all these, your system will be thoroughly protected from future threats.
