``I’ve been reading these forums for a while now, but never became a member because I haven’t had any issues. But now, my computer has started to load really slow.
I start up my computer, and it takes 10-15 minutes just for the programs on auto-start up to even load. (Avast for instance) I’m usually a very patient person, but going from a 1 - 2 minute start up to waiting half an hour for it to completely load is ridiculous. Then, on top of all that, if I try to do ANYTHING before it stops loading, it freezes completely. I’ve even gotten a blue screen of death. (But the blue screen only flashes for about 5 seconds, too fast for me to write down the error code.)
I go into safe mode and run Spy Bot, a Full System Scan on Avast and uninstall some unused programs. (Like old MMOs and whatnot). SpyBot finds its usual browser entries, I “fix” them. Avast scans the whole computer but is unable to scan “C:/…/Prefetch”. I restart in normal mode and have a slightly faster load time, but this time Avast pops up but not active. (With a little “x” in the icon corner.) Every time I tried to activate it, I’d get the loading mouse icon, but nothing would happen.
After scanning, the slightly annoying problems usually stop, but not this time. So I followed the instructions that essex gave in his sticky post.
Ran MBAM. This is my log:

After it removed the item, it asked for a restart, I did. When I loaded up my computer which was once again slightly faster, I got this error.

I turned off all programs and ran OTS. Here is my OTS log:
(Attached to this post, it was too big to post.)
Is that supposed to be that big?? Anyways. I’m running in Safe Mode with Networking right now. Can anyone tell me what is up?
