    hello

    i have a problem with my PC and need some help..

    symptoms... My system tray is missing some icons. All spyware detectors I install are somehow disabled. I can install them but once I click on it to run it starts and then closes down. the next time I try I get the error "windows cannot access the specified device, path, or file. you may not have the appropriate permissions to access the item". I have tried loading malware bytes, spyware doctor, housecall and avg - all the same results. I then tried Hijack this so I could post a log and I have the same problem. Any thoughts or advice would be helpful...

    I have unloaded all scanners except malware bytes and AVG.I do have access to regedit and to add remove programs.. I did manually remove windows police pro already...

    If something does not run, write down the info to explain to us later but keep on going.


    • Do not assume that because one step does not work that they all will not.

    Now download this Win32kDiag and save to your Desktop.

    • Double-click the Utility to run it and and let it finish.
    • When it states Finished! Press any key to exit, press any key to close the program.
    • It will save a Win32kDiag.txt file to your desktop automatically. Attach this log file to your next message.
