Blue Screen
Hello, a few days ago I was infected by a virus on my laptop, and my wallpaper dissapeared being replaced by plain blue. I ran my 3 anti-virus programs and eliminated all viruses and tracking cookies they were picking up. Afterwards I was able to restore my wallpaper. Later when I went to reboot I logged into the blue wallpaper again. My anti virus programs are all up to date and are not picking anything up. Now when I log in i am getting a message saying "Error Maximum_Wait_Item_Exceeded" or something, and eventually it finishes logging in with the blue wallpaper. My 3 anti-virus programs and Comodo firewall are not picking anything up. Any suggestions would be much appreciated. If you need more infomation just ask. Nothing seems to be wrong except everytime i reboot i have a blue wallpaper, and my computer seems slightly slow. Thank you for your time

Hi and welcome to TSG.
Having 3 anti-virus programs running in the background will cause conflicts as they try and scan the same files and will slow down your system.
Best to keep to one and remove the others.

"Error Maximum_Wait_Item_Exceeded" or something,".
Cannot find any info on the above.
The exact error message would help a great deal.

Their all not anti-virus, 1 is Ad-Aware, 1 is Spybot Serch and Destroy and the last is AVG 8. The firewall is Comodo.
