    I have come across a strange problem. I have been trying to clean up a computer for a friend it had LOADS of spyware/adware/trojans and the like. After running all the tools listed in the sticky I still have only one issue when i boot up the computer I get the "new hardware found" icon popping up in the system tray, sometimes it will put 6 or 8 of those icons in there at once, then it results in an error message that "services and controller app has encountered a problem and needs to close" and if I click don't send then I get "nt authority shutdown in 60 seconds" message. If I disable plug and play in the services tab of msconfig then it runs fine. any help or ideas would be greatly appreciated, thanks

    I see no visible malware.

    I have only one question as to why the below service is installed and running from Symantec when you now have AVG for an antivirus.

    O23 - Service: Symantec Network Drivers Service (SNDSrvc) - Symantec Corporation - C:\Program Files\Common Files\Symantec Shared\SNDSrvc.exe
