NOTE: item 21 in my hijack this log is legitimate. its my spector software.
for the last 3 days my system freezes up and locks up where i cannot do anything. my only option is to cold boot the system down by holding in the power button for 5 seconds. this happens randomly and theres nothing specific that triggers this. it could be me going online. or maybe clicking my computer. or checking email. theres no one specific thing that causes this lock up. about 3 days ago i did 3 things and obviously one of these 3 has caused me a tremendous headache and has completely messed my system up. before that time, everything was running perfect for many months. heres what i did 3 days ago, all within one hour of each other. i upgraded my norton internet security from 2008 to 2009. i downloaded a free disk defragmenter program called auslogics defragmenter and ran it. i got this program because i read that it was much faster than the built in vista defragmenter. i have since removed this program from my computer. and my nephew downloaded some stuff off the internet too.
i tried to clean up my system myself to no avail. i ran a complete scan with norton internet security 2009, malwarebytes, the online kaspersky program and superantispyware and all of them came back clean. but im still having these problems where my system freezes and locks up. i dont know if i have a virus or something has messed up my windows software. the weird part is that all my system restore points vanished. i tried to go into system restore and there was no points to use! so whatever caused this, also wiped out all my system restore points as well. now system restore is saving points again, but my system is haywire and i dont know whats wrong. please help. below is my hijack this log.
NOTE AGAIN: item 21 in my hijack this log is legitimate, its my spector software.
