OK, I have some weird problems and idk if theyre connected....
My IE doesnt work,
when i boot up i get a message saying "invalid BOOT.INI file Booting from C:\windows\"
My desktop takes forever to load up and seems to be frozen for 10 minutes or so, then my McAfee pops up and everything is fine

(i tryed to fix the error when i boot with "Fixboot" and it didnt work, then i tryed "fixmbr" which didnt work either)

Heya Yuscu2

Invalidd boot.ini files should stop your whole computer from loading...strange that it's not.

Can you please follow the prework link in my signiture and post the resulting logs back here for the security team to have a look at for you?

by the way, im pretty sure i got some kinda new stuff..b.c my computer says "Your computer is infected!" and then when i click it some spysherrif thing pops up, and im getting ads... i didnt have this before i restrarted my comp. and also my computer is laggy...

and, i am now in safe mode with networking, i had to resort to it... i have tons of spy/ad ware after i took off McAfee... most of my problems started after i installed McAfee and uninstalled Norton

ok im back in normal mode, i deleted numerous trojans and im scanning with the free avg at the moment... i did find something verry suspicious: "NewDotNet" which contains "newdotnet6_38.dll" that i cant delete, i think it has masked itself as another program...

this is my new log...
