    Did you know that you can grab the corner or Startup Control Panel, and stretch it out?

    As I cannot see the end of the each starting command, I cannot advise appropriately which one to disable.
    BUT, in saying that, I do not see any Antivirus software running
    Plus, I do see uTorrent (file sharing program) starting with Windows

    I feel that having these two issues above that even if you finally download your drivers from the manufacturer you will likely be infected by malware anyway! :(

    Have you any data (documents; pictures etc) on your system that require backing up?
    I'd personally go for a clean install and then reply back. But this time don't install any other programs until you have an Antivirus installed (and updated)
    And all Windows Security Updates and Service Packs are up to date.

    Then. We can locate all your drivers (from the manufacturer) and install them.

    Yes and I can see LimeWire installed as well :(
    Best to uninstall that, whilst getting any malware infection removed

    Its basically a mess I feel
    Best to actually re-install clean.
    Good luck

    Please close this thread. It is no longer about driver installs.
    It is about malware, that the member needs to either backup and install Windows clean (preferred)
    Or create a new topic in the Malware & Virus Removal forum

    edit:
    Also note that Combofix should not be run unless advised to by a malware specialist.

    I tend to agree ....

    very300 - you need to ensure that your computer is clean before proceeding with any driver installations.

    I suggest you follow post #25 and post the logs for analysis.

    A reinstall of Windows would be a last resort if any infections present on your computer cannot be removed.

    I am closing this thread for the time being. When you have received a clean bill of health from the Malware & Virus Removal forum PM either me or Admin to have the thread re-opened.
