Hi, thanks to any and all who have the time to help. I suspect I have a problem on my Win 7 machine. I have scanned with Rootkit detectors and run full scans with both MS Security Essentials (now uninstalled) and with Kaspersky Pure 3.0. Neither have detected any problems, but my harddrive is constantly active and the memory on my system is usually at 70% if not more when doing nothing. As well, when I shut down I always receive a message that programs need to be forced closed when I have initiated the shutdown with no programs running that I know of.
So I read a thread here and decided to try the Farbar tool and I now have two generated reports in txt format. Many of the items noted in the reports should not problems like my RIM software so I am unsure if I should actually run a fix. I suspect that there is a Google update program that is constantly tasking my system, and if so that is what I would like to nuke. I have used the event viewer in Windows, but sadly I lack the technical knowledge to interpret them. So I will attach the 2 text files here in the hope that somebody can see if anything really needs to be fixed or not. Again, thank you for taking the time to do this for me, it is greatly appreciated and may some good Karma find you! Cheers.
