Im getting off here gotta work in 7 hours post a new hijak log and try and get checkdisk to run will check back in tommorow.

When you select a service you should see something like stop start restart the service just stop each one then reboot and post new hijack log.

Thanks for all your help so far, I was just about to tell you that I am giving up for the night so I'm glad you had to go anyways. As far as I can tell those services are stopped. When I click on them the only option is to start them, but it says they can not be started in safe mode. I'll try again tomorrow, but I think I might just end up backing up the files I need and just delete everything.

Do you have your vista disk?If so we can perform a repair install.But you may wait for the spyware people to help you it kinda sounds like you may have an infection.And from what I saw its probably from lime wire or one of thee similiar apps you have on your computer plus it is hard to help because Im limited in what I can ask you to do,in this forum.

I just was able to get rid of those services and I did the chkdsk you wanted me to do and I think everything was actually fixed! I am in normal mode right now and so far so good. Here is my most recent hijackthis log I just did:

Ok go ahead and install avast here is a link.
http://download.cnet.com/3001-2239_4...&part=dl-85737

If it ask to install a toolbar or google chrome decline.Also did you run the avg uninstaller?If not then please do so.
And it wouldnt hurt to run a quick scan with malwarebytes just make sure to update first.

[razorwing]

Also if it were my machine I would disable these via msconfig but the choice is yours.

Also wouldnt hurt to defrag your machine.
http://download.cnet.com/3001-2094_4...c891a18e899180
Just decline installing anything other than the defrag app like toolbars etc.

[mojoe879]

Alright, avast is scanning now and I will defrag after. Thank you so much for all of your help! It seems to be working and running faster than ever.

[razorwing]

Ok did you run the avg uninstaller??Also malarebytes?And try superantispyware.
And disabling the startup items I suggested will increase speed even more.
http://download.cnet.com/3001-8022_4...6e763d5f4bc779

If you do decide to install super anti spyware reboot then disable it from starting via msconfig unless you plan on purchasing it.

[mojoe879]

I did run the avg uninstaller and malwarebytes is running now
