HI, I have purchased my computer about 5 months ago. I bought it off of this guy who fixes computers for a living. Anyway, for maybe a month or so the computer was running perfect. Then it just started freezing up whenever it wants to. Actually im suprised its not freezing up now. I run AVG antivirus and nothing comes out saying i have a virus. I also run Ad-Aware SE and still nothing comes up. I'm not too smart on fixing computers so I was wondering if anyone could help me.

Hi Nickmyster, welcome to the PCHF!

It could be hardware, but lets first deal with the possible spyware issues.
Can you please follow the prework link in my signiture and post the resulting logs back here?
The security team will be happy to look at them for you

Ok so I ran AVG and the results came back as there were no threats found and 39213 files were scanned.

Then I ran the HijackThis and here is the results

By the way...thanks alot for helping, this has really been stressing me out.

And for the Spy Sweeper, it had quarantined the following:
popuper
lopdotcom
lopdotcom cookie

Oh and also.....when i first ran the Spy Sweeper it had restarted by itself in Safe Mode. And when it restarted, before everything loaded up in normal mode, it went to a blue screen and said that the disk needs to be checked for consistency, so it went ahead and checked it and then continued to the desktop. I wasnt sure if that was bad or good.

Thanks
