Very Weird Problems with Windows

    First and foremost the weirdest of the weird that has occurred on my computer is the computer restarting without me telling it to twice. Another is error messages. First error message noticed said in the beginning of it: "Cannot install or load RTCore32 driver.". The second error message had to do with Winsonar (which I have now uninstalled due to these odd occurrences and fear of one these programs causing the issue) which said: "Error 53: File not found. Internal Code: W1-CRCchk". Another odd thing happening about a couple of days ago is Zone Alarm reporting that xxx process is trying to monitor user activities on the computer and was asking if this should be accepted or denied (this most recently happened with WRSSHP.exe which is a part of Webroot Spy Sweeper. Not sure if this was reported for multiple programs or not but my vague memory of the occurrences say that it was for multiple programs. Another odd thing that has just started to happen is trying to get on majorgeeks.com through my usual computer (i'm currently using a laptop) seems very slow and I have yet to get it to load this site yet. I've also did a recent scan of my whole computer with virus/spyware scanners and the results that I remember were Windows (using Ad-Aware), virtumonde (i think, it was a v word, i have had virtumonde before in previous scans but that might have not of been it), multiple trojans with Avast!, AdvertisementDesktop (or something like that with Spybot), and a keylogger thing. Another weird thing that was going on was when I had Process Guard running which it kept telling me that x (x being the process name) tried to run a Global Hook (some even said Global Keyboard Hook). One of them that I can remember was Firefox (there were others too I believe if my memory serves me well). I'm very concerned about these strange occurrences and am even wondering if my computer has been hacked into and that passwords have been stolen. Not sure if I should've posted this here or in Malware Removal cause it's not clear at the moment what is causing these problems (due to the fact that all viruses and related found were removed by each program used to scan for them).

    Yeah that is weird Twistid, and yea it sounds like the Malware Gremlins have your Computer under attack!!! I would try posting in Malware, and let the great folks there take a gander.

    Try rebooting into safe mode, run ad-aware then go into my computer, right click c drive. Properties and click tools, then under error checking click check now, then check both check boxes n click start. It will then say it will do it when you reboot. Click ok n reboot.

    That usually fixes most window problems for me. Any damaged windows files it deletes n replaces them. If this doesn’t work, I would do what BCGray said, let one of the guys who know more about malware pros take a look.

    Also, try hitting enter after a few sentences, makes a much easier read :0)

    Haha will definitely try to press enter more often when writing something online from now on thanx lol.

    While going through the Read and Run me first the Bitdefender online scanner found some problems and they were in the System Restore folder so it appears that the problem is fixed (i'm also able to get on majorgeeks now lol, appears to have something to do with the new Spy Sweeper). If I have any problems after this then I will definitely post something in the Malware section. Thanx guys! :)
