Hey KenB, thank you so much for posting! I followed your advice and downloaded MBAM and the results blew me away. I figured when you said it was better that it would pick up one or two errant programs that spybot had missed. Sixteen. It found sixteen additional problems! So I cleared those up and everything seems to be running like clockwork again! Thanks for the tip Ken, and Ill be happy to post the MBAM log if anyone is still interested.

So im not sure if this happens a lot or what, but im having problems with certain programs refusing to run. For some reason, Steam games (not the client itself), VLC media player, and firefox v.5 will not open, or rather seem to open for a split second, then close immediately. I have tried running the programs as an administrator, uninstall/reinstalling both VLC and Firefox, defragging the drive, and checking the drive for errors to no avail. My next thought was that it might be a virus, so i ran system sweeps with Microsoft Security Essentials and Spybot S&D, which turned up a couple of tracker cookies and a browser bar that had been bundled with a "freeware" program. With those cleared out and the computer restarted I realized that i had made absolutely no headway. Computers arent exactly my forte save for gaming, and any thoughts on the subject would be appriciated! Oh yes, and before i forget im using Windows 7 home(64bit), on a gateway model number DX4300-15e ( i think thats right anyway). -Cheers!
