Totaly Meltdown?

[tylau2]

My laptop (compaq presario a9000 notebook pc) seems to be melting down slowly.

My internet logo in the bottom right has the little red x [instead of the globe(implying I have no internet connection)] but I can connect to web browsers and bittorrent loads files just fine. If I right click on the icon the menu pops up but freezes and I cant click on anything.

Msn messenger loads up but when I click to sign in it freezes and is unresponsive.

Itunes loads in the "Processes" section of "windows task manager" but never loads up for me to access.

Windows Live Care doesnt load and it tells me to go to start>start search> and type in something. When I type that in and press enter the entire start menu freezes and I cant click anything on it.

Whats the deal? Any help would be greatly appreciated!!!

Make an antivirus scan

Download and run malwarebytes. Sounds like it might be an infection

If you cannot do the scan try an online scan.

I need to use IE for the online scan to work and it wont connect. I d/led the malwarebytes but when Vista asks me if I want to "run" the program I click run n nothing happens.....

You may have to right click and run as adminstrator

the blue circle loads beside the arrow but nothing happens then eventually says its not responding.

Type malwarebytes in search, when it pops up, right click and then hit run as adminsitrator. Does it work that way?

 

[tylau2]

its not finding anything in the search. (I assume ur referring to the search done in the start menu)

its not even finding the "mbam-setup-1.46" which is right on my desktop

ran the computer in safe mode and everything worked fine. Ran the program found 3 things, removed them and then did a system restore. Back in normal mode the problem continues. Altho this time msn starts to log in (instead of being unresponsive) but eventually tells me theres no internet connection (but alas here I am). Here is the log:
