Hello bill66

Welcome to Safer Networking.

While best efforts are made to assist in removing infections safely, unexpected stuff can happen

Won't know if this is Malware or Hardware related until I see a Hijackthis log. I see in your post you are running a registry cleaner, lets hope it did not bork your computer

Download
Trendmicros Hijackthis (http://www.trendsecure.com/portal/en-US/_download/HJTInstall.exe) to your desktop, double click it to install, follow the prompts
and by default it will install in C:\Program Files\Trendmicro\Hijackthis\Highjackthis.exe



Open HJT Scan and Save a Log File, it will open in Notepad
Go to Format and make sure Wordwrap is Unchecked
Go to Edit> Select All.....Edit > Copy and Paste the new log into this thread by using the
Post Reply and not start a New Thread.

DO NOT have HijackThis fix anything yet. Most of what it finds will be harmless or
even required.
