solved:I would like to have a malware expert to check and see if I have a virus

[Diddy]

HI  my desktop computer has been acting silly these days.  A while back when I quite a boot time scan I found out that when I booted back to the desktop security center alerted me that I should check my security so I did and I found out my firewall had been turned off by itsself so I turned windows firewall back on.  It has only done this once so far.   a few times when I click on some folders an error message would come up saying that a file cannot be found.  Sometimes my computer is really slow and sometimes my browser will not respond or my computer will freeze for no reason.  So that is why I would like to have a malware expert check the following logs for a virus.  I have done repeated scans with avast free 7 lasted version and it has found nothing so far.

Thanks

here is some info that might help:
Windows Vista
avast free 7 7.0.1474

ps Sorry for the mistake I posted in the wrong section.


I would also like to mention that I am only an intermediate computer user I have no advanced computer knowledge of any kind.

Can you also run Comodo Killswitch and set it to only show Unknown/Suspicious processes? Maybe that will point out something useful if anything...

[Diddy]

hI I installed kill switch application but I do not now how to run it can someone tell me how to use kill switch please.  I did not find out any on how to select look for unknown things I need help I have never run kill switch before I also selected run kill switch as administer.

Thanks.
Ps: have never run or used Comodo killswitch before.

[RejZoR]

Just run Killswitch.exe and once opened, go to View menu in the toolbar and select "Hide safe processes". You can then post a screenshot here if there will be any entries still displayed in this app.

[Diddy]

HI I reopened killswitch and I went to the view menu and looked under view menu and I could not select hide safe processes because it was gray.   So what do I do now.  Please explain.

Thanks.

You will need some codecs..  Download this package and install http://www.majorgeeks.com/download5326.html

[Diddy]

HI Essexboy what package am I to download and what codecs are you talking about what is the software that I am to download Essexboy please explain.

Thanks

[essexboy]

Vista Codec Package 6.4.4 is the codec package and this will install the dll that you are missing thereby stopping the errors

[Diddy]

HI Essexboy

I just wanted to say thanks for suggesting the fix to get rid of the toolbars off of my computer.  I would also like to thank you for suggesting the avast codec pack for Vista.  It installed fine and the error message is gone from my computer.

Thanks again Essexboy
