Hya Christian_1014 , welcome to PCHF.



I would advice to uninstall these in add/remove programs , but only if you dont want/use them:

Viewpoint_toolbar
PartyGaming\PartyPoker



Please download Smitrem to your desktop:

http://noahdfear.geekstogo.com/click...click.php?id=1

Run the installer and then press Start to Extract the
files to the desktop, Do not run it yet.

Reboot into safe mode (Reboot and keep tapping F8 , then
choose safe mode from the list)

Run SmitRem:

Open the SmitRem folder and double click the "RunThis.bat" file to start the tool. Follow the prompts on screen , wait for the tool to complete , and disk cleanup to finish.

The tool will create a log named smitfiles.txt on the drive that you ran Smitrem on, eg; "C:smitfiles.txt" , or the partition where your operating system is installed on.
Please attach this log to your next reply.



You will need to reload your wallpaper as the SmitRem
tool will reset it, you can do this by right clicking
desktop and choosing properties, First check Theme and
set it to Windows XP then click the Desktop tab and
choose the one you want to use and press apply.


Then fix these two with hjt:


When done please post the Smitrem log plus a new hjt log.
