    PC rebooting by itself...I ran SpyBot off of a BartPE boot disk and came up with errors for smitfraud-c. and BraveSentry. It looks like the're related. performed smitfraud fix by noadfear. Rescaned with Spybot, shows clean.
    PC will now run and let me access the internet, but I'm unable to open security center, run a windows update or run any online scan that requires an active x install. Ran AVG spyware scan and it comes up clean. I'll attatch the scan reports and hopefully some kind sole could point me in the right direction. Your efforts on this website are greatly appreciated!

    Please delete these folders:
    C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\Viewpoint
    C:\Program Files\Viewpoint

    Did you run the scans in safe mode? If so we will need you to run them in normal mode.

    Continue by downloading a tool we will need - Pocket KillBox

    Save it to its own folder somewhere that you will be able to locate it later.

    Please copy the bold text below to notepad. Save it as fixME.reg to your desktop. Be sure the "Save as" type is set to "all files" Once you have saved it double click it and allow it to merge with the registry.

    Run HijackThis and select the following lines but DO NOT CLICK FIX until you exit all browser sessions including the one you are reading in right now:

    After clicking Fix, exit HJT.

    Now run Pocket Killbox by doubleclicking on killbox.exe
    Choose Tools > Delete Temp Files and click Delete Selected Temp Files.
    Then after it deletes the files click the Exit (Save Settings) button.
    NOTE: Pocket Killbox will only list the added files it is able to find on the system. So when you do the below, if some files do not show in the list after pasting them in, just continue.

    Select:

    * Delete on Reboot
    * then Click on the All Files button.*(or on the folders option)*
    * Please copy the file paths below to the clipboard by highlighting ALL of them and pressing CTRL + C (or, after highlighting, right-click and choose copy):

    C:\WINDOWS\system32\game0e~1.exe
    C:\WINDOWS\system32\kernel~1.exe
    C:\WINDOWS\system32\qvx5ga~1.exe
    C:\WINDOWS\system32\qvxga6~1.exe
    C:\WINDOWS\system32\vxg3am~1.exe
    C:\WINDOWS\system32\vxg4am~1.exe
    C:\WINDOWS\system32\vxga1m~1.exe
    C:\WINDOWS\system32\advvpi32.dll
    C:\WINDOWS\system32\emver.ini
    C:\Windows\comdlg96.dll

    * Return to Killbox, go to the File menu, and choose Paste from Clipboard.
    * Click the red-and-white Delete File button. Click Yes at the Delete on Reboot prompt.

    If you receive a PendingFileRenameOperations prompt, just click OK to continue (But please let me know if you receive this message!).

    If Killbox does not reboot just reboot your PC yourself.

    Now attach the below new logs and tell me how the above steps went.

    1. GetRunKey
    2. ShowNew
    3. HJT
