Hang a bit, something is quite funky here. Your log doesn't show too much of anything bad going on, yet something keeps shutting down scans, which is indicative of a rootkit in action. I've asked for some assistance on the matter, and will post back shortly. Be patient, and I thank you for understanding.

Thanks - hope it can be sorted, otherwise should I start thinking about reformatting?

Hey Guys,

Sorry it took me so long to get here.

@Kohl - Please copy and paste the following links to your desktop. Panda Active Scan, Kaspersky, Bitdefender, along with Housecall.

Also please download CCleaner, and RegSupremePro from my signature. Right-click on My Computer, choose Explore, click on Tools, Folder Options, and put a check next to Display the contents of System Folders, choose Show Hidden Files and Folders, and deselect Hide known file extentions. Then boot into Safe Mode with Networking.

Run CCleaner, make sure all options are selected including Advanced, answer OK to all warnings. Click on Analyze, then Run Cleaner. Repeat until either no futher files appear to be cleaned, or the same files appear, and cannot be cleaned. If you have files that cannot be cleaned. Navigate to the file, right-click on it, and choose Properties. Then click on the Security tab, Advanced button, give yourself full ownership of the file, and manually delete it.

Next you may have to manually start your firewall, then use IE, not FireFox, to run the online AV scans. Let each scan fix whatever it finds. Follow the instructions for rebooting etc. given to you by each, but make sure that you boot into Safe Mode with Networking each time if is necessary to reboot. Save the logs to post back here. We will wait untill we know you are clean to run RegSupremePro.

Looking forward to your reply,

My computer doesn't seem to want to let me boot into safe mode! I selected safe mode with networking, some start upish screens appeared, but then it automatically re-boots. Where do I go from here?

wait for lady green witch to respond......she is working on several threads, and you WILL be responded to, just be patient.....
