The computer seems to be working okay. Certainly WAY BETTER...
I better have this clarified.

I hope you don't mind me asking a couple questions first...
Blade81,
Here are the scan results followed by a HJT log report. I'm a little worried that the scan doesn't show anything. The laptop is still running the same way.
