And now its stopped doing it... I ran the sfc/scannow twice and nothing came back, although, I did recently install a new processor, and GPU. I don't know whether that fixed anything, but it is certainly running better after a few teething problems. It seems that my PC is very much a swinger in terms of performance xD

After trying to switch it into the start up method you said, the application froze, and then force closed itself, also causing explorer to crash at the same time. Normally I would restart explorer through the task manager but every time I do, It won't load. The PC also take upwards of 20 minutes to shut down. Not because of updates or anything either which is irritating. Now, my PC explorer has reverted itself to have a resemblance to windows xp, my computer either crashes every time I try loading something, or explorer crashes, and I can no longer connect wirelessly to the internet like I used to. Currently having to post from my phone.

I knocked them back when you suggested yes

Me again...Terribly sorry, but it's started happening again as of about 20 minutes ago. I haven't updated anything in terms of drivers, and not downloaded anything except Batman, via steam, so I'm really confused what it could be, perhaps my HDD is failing? or on its way out?

Adwcleaner.exe was removed along with all the logs, and rkill and JRT. So far everything seems to be going smoothly again. Thanks for the help guys! ^_^ Also, I noticed it was only certain programs that caused explorer to crash, and it was because they needed updating and the auto up-dater wasn't initializing for whatever reason.

No problem, thanks for the help so far! :)

After my comp having a bit of an issue loading that up, it managed to revert back, and from what I can tell it seems to have stopped, but its also created a new problem... Now it seems that explorer keeps crashing, so I end up getting the classic blank screen and no icons. and no task bar etc And, apparently I can't read, because I just read through the Log quickly before posting it and it did have malicious software going on...

The only ones I can think of that have been updated are things like my graphics card. I used Malwarebytes to scan my computer both in safe and out of safe mode. I can post my specs if that makes things any easier?

It may also be worth noting that my PC doesn't do this during SAFE MODE.

Hi there. As as the title says, for the past week or so my PC has had a habit of freezing up every minute for about 3-5 seconds, then returning to normal. The cursor also has issues switching between various icons/pointers. I've done everything that my limited knowledge can do eg virus scans, malware scans, but nothing is coming back. Help would be very much appreciated. Thanks, Oran
