:-) Hi Ali,

Welcome to PCHF. Don't be sad. We have an amazing group of people here to help you resolve this.

Had you been able to create Restore points before?

It is distinctly possible that this is some type of malware problem. Can you please follow the instructions in the PreWork link in my signature. Posting back with your ewido and HijackThis logs.

That will give us a really good place to start.

Look forward to your reply,

TTFN

Here is my hijackThis log.
I have scanned for virus and spyware with bitdefender 9 a few days ago and it didnt find anything.
I also did a spyware check with spybot search and destroy and removed the stuff that was showed.

Doesn't look like its a malware prob but you can fix these:


Maybe this helps with youre prob:

http://windowsxp.mvps.org/startmenuhelp.htm

Have you disable it through msconfig/ go to start/ run/ type in msconfig then go to services/ find help and support and make sure the box is ticked.

:cry: I tried running it with run from start menu by typing %Windir%\PCHealth\HelpCtr\Binaries\HelpCtr.exe and it didnt come :cry:
And yes it is checked in the msconfig services section and status is running.

Unexpected error occurred!
Error #52 (Bad file name or number) in Sub GetLongPath(?.exe).

Please send a report to merijn@spywareinfo.com, mentioning what you were doing, and what version of Windows you have.
