Here they are. I don't know if it matters but I remember running roguekiller before I first posted and it found "might be suspicious" stuff about explorer. I havn't run it again though since.

Download attached fixlist.txt file and save it to the Desktop:

Both files, FRST and fixlist.txt have to be in the same location or the fix will not work!

  • Right-click on
    FRST.gif
    icon and select
    RunAsAdmin.jpg
    Run as Administrator to start the tool.
    (XP users click run after receipt of Windows Security Warning - Open File).
  • Press the Fix button just once and wait.
  • If for some reason the tool needs a restart, please make sure you let the system restart normally. After that let the tool complete its run.
  • When finished FRST will generate a log on the Desktop, called Fixlog.txt.

Please attach it to your reply.

Hello, Thank you for all your help. Unfortunately yesterday I was forced to restore my computer from a system image that I have of a fresh install. The problem is now gone. Thank you so much for your time and effort. :)
