[spankyxl]

every time i try to run a media file explorer crashes and dr watson closes down i have to go into CTRL ALT DEL and close down the process tree. what can i do to stop this as roxio dvd builder is also being affected and closes down if i preview or even burn the media file

i have done a spyware scan with noadware v3 which got rid of quite a bit of crap and also tried norton scans with no affect to this issue, yet process now seems faster.

here is a hijactthis log to help anyone willing to help me.

Hi there,
Please set your system to show all files; see here for how to do this if you're unsure.

The following are mandatory fixes:
Press Control-Alt-Del to enter the Task Manager.
Click on the Processes tab and end the following processes:

c:\windows\system32\dllcache\win32\winlogon.exe
c:\windows\system32\dllcache\win32\winlogon.exe
c:\windows\system32\dllcache\win32\csrss.exe
C:\WINDOWS\LMU.exe
C:\DOCUME~1\ROBHIL~1\LOCALS~1\Temp\searchbarcash.exe
C:\Documents and Settings\Rob Hillary\Application Data\ibrd.exe
C:\WINDOWS\system32\w?aclt.exe

Exit the Task Manager when finished

Close all programs down, leaving only HijackThis running.
Place a check against the following items:

R0 - HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Search,SearchAssistant = http://search.looksm...h?pi=lstb2&tv=1
R1 - HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Internet Connection Wizard,ShellNext = http://www.web--sear...php?uninstaller

O23 - Service: NTSVCMGR - Unknown - c:\windows\system32\dllcache\win32\winlogon.exe

Click on Fix Checked and exit HijackThis.

Reboot into Safe Mode: see here if you don't know how to do this.

Using Windows Explorer, locate the following files/folders, and delete them:

c:\windows\system32\dllcache\win32\winlogon.exe
c:\windows\system32\dllcache\win32\csrss.exe
C:\WINDOWS\LMU.exe
C:\DOCUME~1\ROBHIL~1\LOCALS~1\Temp\searchbarcash.exe
C:\Documents and Settings\Rob Hillary\Application Data\ibrd.exe
C:\WINDOWS\system32\w?aclt.exe
C:\WINDOWS\system32\dxeq.dll

Exit Explorer, and reboot as normal afterwards.

Post back a fresh HijackThis log and we'll take another look.
