    Rebooted computer this evening and when it came back up my AVAST anti-virus would not start. Downloaded Combofix, AVG, Spybot S&D and MGTools... None will work.. Combofix gives me the "XXX is not a valid Win32 Application." Spybot will not install... Nor will AVG. Downloaded HiJackThis.exe and get the same error as Combofix so I'm not even sure where to start.

    Every time I reboot, I have some 5-10 digit number (i.e. 9393873.exe) running as a proc that pegs my processor. Need some help getting rid of this one. Thanks!

    Please attach the requested logs from safe mode, if that is the only way to get them to work....and while you are doing that, use windows explorer to find and delete:
    C:\Windows\System32\drivers\down\
