    Hey there, I believe the person who helped me in a previous life was Abry. Thought I would start a new post since the issue I am now having is very specific. I ran the whole run & read me again to see if it would help clear things up without having to start a new thread, Alas I still have this stinking virus. It seems to reinstall itself as a windows update and be pretty integrated in my o.s. then again i don't know too much and that is why I am here. the windows xp 2008 antivirus software starts up everytime I reboot(or did before I ran through the read and run me first setup) My wallpaper used to tell me that I had viruses in bright yellow now the wallpaper is just that beautiful blue you get when windows crashes but minus the message of death. In addition mgtool did not fix my clock when it was finished which doesn't bother me except to say that I worry if it was able to fully do its thing. In addition if I allow my computer to set idle for a long enough period of time, when it attempts to put the screen saver up my system crashes and leaves me with a blue screen of death. In an attempt to check out my screen saver setting I found that my screen display properties were altered so I could only access very basic things like resolutiona and themes. (this is better now but I thought it may be important information)

    thank you in advance here are some logs

    You need to run Malwarebytes and attach the requested log. Make sure you are using the current version.

    Okay but you still need to do what I requested in message # 2 if you still need help.

    What problems are you still having? I also suggest that if you are going to post for help that you follow up more quickly as waiting a week after posting logs is actually long enough to where we would normally have to ask you to run the whole READ & RUN ME again.
