What antivirus abd malware programs are you running?
I run AVG and spybot plus a reg cleaner and repair
WQell AVG has caused lots of problems just like you list lately.
Reg cleaners, well they are not needed and I would like to have $10 for everythime I had to give someone the bad news the they now had to do a clean install because it ripped them up so bad.
Spybot is really outdated. So I gave up on it and use:
Download Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware: http://www.malwarebytes.org/products/malwarebytes_free to your desktop.
(Malwarebytes is free to use as a manual scanner. Payment is only required if you wish to have it run and update automatically which is not necessary for our purposes)
* Double-click mbam-setup.exe and follow the prompts to install the program.
* At the end, be sure a checkmark is placed next to Update Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware and Launch Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware, then click Finish.
* If an update is found, it will download and install the latest version.
* Once the program has loaded, select Perform Quick Scan, then click Scan.
* When the scan is complete, click OK, then Show Results to view the results.
* Be sure that everything is checked, and click Remove Selected.
* When completed, a log will open in Notepad.
AVG remover.

Just registar and follow the instructions. Broni is the best I have seen yet.
Thanks Train, that helped alot, but I have another problem. When I'm on a web site and click a link to go to another page on that same site, I get a drop down saying: "homedepot.com cannot open because of a long running script". This happens everytime. Thanks.
Have you use a reg wacker/wrecker, they call them reg cleaners?
I suggest that you do a System Restore to just before the problem started.
If that does not work, time to post in vdr. Let Broni help you work it out.
