Help! I'm using Win98 SE on a Compaq Presario 7470 desktop with 512 mb RAM. Almost every time I start it up, it goes to the desktop with the blue screen and all icons, but the cursor freezes and control-alt-delete doesn't help...only option is to manually power off and then back on. Same thing sometimes happens upon exiting IE 6.0 and then quickly double-clicking on the icon to open a new window. I have used MS Memory Diagostic to check for memory problems, run scandisk and defrag, emptied Temp folder, repeatedly run Ad-Aware (which I just uninstalled), Spybot, Spyware Blaster and Grisoft AVG anti-virus program, but nothing solves this. I can't think of anything I did that started this problem, but it is driving me nuts! My Hijack This log is below...please, please, lend me a hand here. Thanks you!

Hi
Make sure you have already run Adaware, Spybot S & D(check for updates) and CWShredder as these will do a preliminary clean first.Some files below may not be present after running the above programs.

Then....
Close your browser window and run hjt in safe mode... HOW TO RUN SAFE MODE and have "Hijack This" fix the following by placing a check in the appropriate boxes and selecting "fix checked".
Folders that have been highlighted in RED will need to be uninstalled.Check first as some folders maybe uninstalled via the Add/Remove program. Files highlighted in BLACK will need to be removed from your hard drive. Make sure to have your system set to show hidden files and folders.. HOW TO SHOW FILES ..Please post a new log when finished...
