    There is something definitely wrong with my computer. I've scanned with Ad-Aware SE (It's up to date and everything) and it found a module. As soon as it finds it, my computer restarts as if it's trying to keep itself alive. I've tried running in safe mode as well, with the exact same results. Since then, i've downloaded HijackThis and got a log file, and I will post it with this message so you can hopefully help me with this horrid problem. Thanks - Chuck

    Well, I WOULD get sp2... but the last five hundred times (more likely about 5 times) my system would get to the windows loading screen and restart, then i'd have to do a system restore (That happened each time)

    Also, I've taken all of the steps that you had mentioned previously and nothing works. Keep in mind i've tried various spyware utilites, virus scanners, etc. I go into ad-aware from time to time and it keeps killing itself, finding the module from hell. And I now have a process named wowexec.exe.... so I have no clue what to do anymore and would REALLY like some help asap... thanks.
