    Freegan ~ that particular 'cleaner' has killed a few computers in the past by removing items it shouldnt

    Such as..?

    I've not experienced any problems.

    Maybe it's been updated before I downloaded it.

    Or are you thinking of the stand-alone registry cleaner?

    The System Cleaner has a 'safe mode' but it requires a system restart and offers to 'unclean' the system if you experience problems but since I find it reliable and regularly make registry backups I forego that cautious approach and plough on regardless.

    Cant see any of that lot making a difference (Save perhaps the LOGITECH protocol) so id suggest as follows (If you wish to try) ~
    Uninstall Zonealarm and switch on windows firewall

    Download CCLEANER
    http://www.ccleaner.com/download/builds/downloading-slim
    Run the CLEANER scan (UNTICK 'cookies')
    Then run the REGISTRY scan (Backup the registry when it asks)

    If that doesnt work then uninstall AVG (Clearly avg has been reloaded a few times judging by the log)

    Use the 32 bit AVG removal tool
    http://www.avg.com/download-tools

    If still no good then uninstall ADAWARE (Next to useless anyways)

    Try the malwarebytes FULL scan in SAFE MODE
    :idea:
