several error messages/comp locks up

Runtime Error 266 at 0AE465B3 (pops up twice on every page I open in IE6)also certain other programs

Error loading powrprof.dll A device attached to the system is not functioning. (on restart)(Also pops up twice)

Error loading-- C:\PROGRAM~1\Yahoo!\COMPAN~1\INSTALLS\CPN4\YCOMPS~ 1.DLL (when trying to uninstall Yahoo Toolbar from ARP)(never authorized installation to begin with)

Scripting errors too numerous to write (my pictures-when selecting any pic)

Setupapi.dll errors


Things I have done to try and solve these problems:


Spyware Doctor (which may be linked to the "runtime errors" mentioned above)
Registry Mechanic
PCBug Doctor
McAfee
PCRescue
Msconfig--unchecked powerprofile on startup(two instances running)
Downloaded and installed a new one of each: powrprof.dll setupapi.dll
Uninstalled every program that I did not use daily
Uninstalled and Reinstalled IE6--also repaired
And most recently HIJACKTHIS

Also please read this thread.:

NO HIJACK THIS LOG FILES BEFORE READING THIS: HJT Tutorial & LOG File Posting

 

I apologize for posting the HJT log file. HOWEVER, if i KNEW that it was a spyware, malware problem, then I would have posted it in the appropriate site. Not knowing what my problem was, I posted it here in software. Sorry to have "misposted". www.techsupportforum.com has already taken care of everything for me and was very helpful, friendly and quick to help. Thanks Anyway

 

Though, that powrprof.dll is Microsoft Power Profile Helper DLL. You will need this.
